4th Doctor Amigurumi Doll

Description

I really cannot even begin to describe how much I struggled with this doll... I restarted his scarf 4 times before realizing it was too large, and then had to start all over again, had to pull out and redo a few sections as the weren't working together, and then his hat....well...I've not made it a secret that I hate when I have to make hats. Maybe one day I'll make a really good one that will shut me up, lol. At the end of the day though, the struggle to bring this guy to life was worth it I think.

I'm also wondering if there is an award for making what maybe the smallest crochet version of his scarf ever. Will have to check into that...

Anyway! Besides the technique involved with creating the scarf pattern from adaptations of the official pattern, the only new technique involved here is all in the tiny attempt at a fedora. I'd like it more if I could find stiff felt in that color brown I think, but for having no idea how I was going to come about making it, I'm pleased enough with the results. :nod:

The scarf actually won out with most annoying piece to make though thanks to all the color changes, but I can definitely say it was worth it. :D

Materials: Yarn, thread, felt, poly-fil, poly-beads, butttons
Time: 10-12 hours

The Fourth Doctor was quite taken with the doll when he was shown it (though he did worry about the tiny thing sharing in the suffering of having his lovely scarf trampled upon) and, upon finding he wasn't allowed to just take it, offered a bag of jelly babies as compensation before placing the tiny thing in his pocket and running off.

I adore him, especially that you took the time to write a little story about him. I do wish you sold your patterns, however. (being poor, free is even better, but that's neither here nor there, as I just read that you only sell finished products). I am a huge Doctor Who fan. And I do mean HUGE. I got married this fall, and setting the wedding date was entirely dependent on when my tattoo artist would be able to finish the full Doctor Who sleeve I've been chipping away at for the past 4 years. :) Keep up the amazing work. I love crocheting amigurumi, but I cannot come up with my own style (visualize, I mean) in order to start crocheting my own patterns. Kudos to you for that. :)
