Are you excited for the second installment of the movie? I am so much more excited that Gal Gadot is donning her cape once again, to be screened Wonder woman. This Wonder Woman toy would be the right addition to your crochet superheros, right in time.
The pattern is similar to that free Superman pattern here on the blog. But, looking at the pictures I think my craftsmanship has come a long way since. I have also leveled up my pattern writing skills, thanks to the feedback from people like you.
I am super proud of how the Wonder Woman toy pattern had turned out, I hope you have fun making it. Like always please let me know if you have any clarifications with it.
Wonder Woman
Height: 18cms tall
Skill Level: Intermediate-Advanced
Supplies:
2.5 mm hook
Stitch markers
Tapestry needle
Fiberfill
Yarn – 8 ply Acrylic yarn in cream, black, red, blue and yellow
Notes:
Abbreviations:
ch – chain
sl st – slip stitch
sc – single crochet
inc – make two single crochets in the same stitch
dec – combine two stitches into one single crochet
inv dec – insert hook into the front loop of the first stitch. DO NOT YARN OVER. Insert hook into the front loop of the next stitch. To do this you’ll need to swing the hook down first so you can insert the hook. Yarn over and draw through the first two loops. You are now left with two loops on the hook. Yarn over and draw through two loops.
[stitch] * ‘n’ times – repeat the stitches between the [] n times.
General instructions:
- Work in both loops unless the pattern instructs you to do otherwise.
- Work all the stitches in continuous rounds in a spiral. Do not join. In other words do not sl st and chain at the end of each row, instead simply follow the pattern for the next round.
- Use a stitch marker to keep track of the rounds.
Recommended sequence:
- Crochet the head.
- Crochet the hair cap.
- Crochet hair bits/extensions, sew them to the hair cap.
- Crochet legs and onto the body. Do not forget to observe the color changes.
- Crochet arms.
- Crochet skirt.
- Crochet the shoes.
- Stuff face and sew the hair cap to the head.
- Stuff body and attach arms, shoes, skirt.
- Embroider eyes, sew crown and sew body to the head.
Now off to crocheting this cute Wonder Woman toy.

Hair Extensions
Tip 1: Remember to ensure that the chains are not twisted to make an uniform band at the top for Wonder Woman’s hair.
Tip 2: For the lengthy extension, repeat this step for 9 times or to a length you desire depending of how fuller you want your curls. But I felt like the head looked fuller already.
- Chain 22.
- SC in each chain. (Without finishing off repeat step 1 & 2 for 9 times.
Tip 3: For the short extensions, increase 2 chains for an increasing/decreasing length of hair.
- Chain 20.
- SC in each chain. (Without finishing off, repeat step 1 & 2 for 4 times but with an increase of 2 chains each time)
