Was pleased with the outcome and made sure I wrote everything I did down for later so I can make them again if I need to.  Can't wait to meet their baby "Aang" haha. Here's what I did, you might like to have a go too. Feel free to ask any questions if anything doesn't make sense.

I prefer to help out with the dress up part by making these costumes rather than buying them; the amount of superheroes and villains he chooses between would render me bankrupt if I made them all available! So soon enough, Venom was the project on my agenda and the main part was the beanie/mask. It was a "make it up as you go along" crochet project and so I wrote it down as I went along. Both my son and myself were happy with the final product. Paired with a black turtle neck (white spider painted on with acrylic) and some black tights, it was a near perfect Venom costume 👌 I will share my pattern here for free for anyone who would like to give i
