Captain Marvel's Lucky Hat Is the Coolest Fan Art Since Forever - ComicBook.com

By Russ Burlingame

The preposterous hat that Carol Danvers, better known to readers as Captain Marvel, wore in a recent issue of the series has been turned into an actual knitting pattern, made downloadable by series writer Kelly Sue DeConnick, and duplicated by a fan, all in less than a week.And it is awesome.The hat, which appeared in yesterday’s Captain Marvel #9, follows the color scheme of Carol’s superhero costume but is not in any way identifiable as Captain Marvel merch, except for having appeared briefly in the comic.Here’s DeConnick, from her Tumblr:

And here’s “Carol Corps” member Beth Raebel, in the one she made for herself.We often bring fan-made art or video to the attention of our readers, and this is like that in a couple of ways–it’s fun, awesome and this writer has approximately five percent of the skill necessary to make such a thing myself. Otherwise, I totally would.Side note – since #9 was the first issue branded with Marvel NOW!, does this hat count as a Marvel NOW! costume redesign?
