Free Superhero Crochet Toy Patterns

by

You might remember our previous post about Mary and her amazing Superhero Crochet Patterns and the copyright issues she ran into. You can read the full post about those patterns here.

“Mary has copyright issues so she is giving away her patterns”

Here is a link to Mary’s Etsy store where the above 9 patterns are available for FREE.   

Mary is no longer offering these Batman, Superman, Captain America etc. patterns paid or free. It looks like the copyright issues got the better of her after all.

Need crochet supplies and yarn? We highly recommend Lionbrand for quality yarn and ongoing yarn sales and discounts. Make sure to check out their free crochet patterns too.

Looking for more Batman themed crochet patterns? Check these out on Etsy  or these articles on our own blog.

  6. Please help! I have been trying to get these patterns but it won’t let me download any of them. I’ve even looked for others and it always brings me back to this site. Could you please tell me what I’m doing wrong? Or, has the free patterns expired? Thank you in advance for your help!!

  7. Mary I love your amigurumi patterns, I have downloaded many free and bought many. I would love to see them offered in keychain patterns.

Whip It Up Crochet Blanket – Free Pattern

This Free Whip It Up Crochet Blanket Pattern from Mary Maxim looks like pure comfort crochet. It is a free download for a crochet afghan, and Mary Maxim describes it as a beautifully textured blanket with a plush, soft texture designed to be worked up quickly.

The yarn choice is what really sets the tone here. This pattern uses Bernat Blanket Extra Thick, with 5 skeins and a U.S. U/50 (25 mm) crochet hook. That puts it firmly in the jumbo-yarn category, which usually means fast progress, chunky stitches, and that lovely instant-gratification feeling where the blanket actually starts looking like a blanket very quickly. Mary Maxim lists the yarn as weight 7 jumbo.

The finished size is also generous at 52 x 60 inches, so this is more than a tiny lap throw. It sounds like a proper snuggle-on-the-sofa blanket, and one that would make a nice gift as well. Mary Maxim specifically suggests it as a throw for home décor or as a thoughtful handmade present.

Skill-wise, this one looks very approachable. The page lists it as Beginner / Easy, and the stitch requirements are simple: chain, double crochet, repeat, single crochet, and slip knot. That makes it a good option for newer crocheters who want a chunky blanket project without too much fuss, or for more experienced crocheters who just want something relaxing and cozy on the hook.

I also think this is the kind of pattern that has strong appeal for anyone who likes fast, useful projects. Jumbo yarn blankets are not subtle, but that is part of their charm. They feel squishy, dramatic, and very giftable. Sometimes you want a delicate heirloom project, and sometimes you want a big soft blanket that feels like crocheting with a cloud. This one definitely leans toward the second category. That last part is my take based on the listed materials, size, and description.
