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.
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.
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.
Thanks! The answer to all of these questions is me! Lol. I design and make all the dolls and plush in my gallery. If you want to commission one, just send me an email at colies.cute.crafts@gmail.com and I can give you pricing for anything, as well as an eta on when I would have it done.
