Birth of the Crochet Dalek Beanies

By -

UPDATE 1/26/23: Semi-related: I also have a crochet Star Whale pattern available!

UPDATE 1/22/23: Here I am going through all of my old blog posts and checking on links, adding updated pictures, and all that jazz! Look at me go! I'm using so many exclamation points in 2023!

I now have a pattern for both adult and baby-sized Dalek beanies available from Ravelry! Classic Daleks and the Paradigm Daleks! Both are very easy and very nice introduction to tapestry crochet in the round! They're also very easy to resize for custom heads! 

Making these hats also made me hate making pom-poms and I hate making pom-poms to this very day!

I'm definitely overdue for a Doctor Who rewatch and catch-up...which means I might make some more of these... 

I came across a strange device, obviously from space. It was a Progenitor device. But it was a YARN Progenitor device.

I've been on a Doctor Who kick lately, rewatching all of that nonsense. I decided to poke around and look at some other Dalek hats on the mighty Internet. There's some good ones out there. I decided to make my own, but keep them simple. I wanted them to be more like beanies that happen to also be Daleks, rather than putting a fully-formed Dalek on your head, you know? Yeah, dude.

The first born from the Yarn Progenitor (crochet hook) was a bronze one. Nice. Simple. Classic Dalek design. People like color so I made a bunch with the same design in different colors then I also made two that were inspired by the Dalek Paradigm design (AKA the new Daleks). They're a lot of fun to make and really simple. I kept their eyes flat and simple and made their lights out of cute, little 2-inch pom poms. Here are pictures. Buy one for realsies from the Etsy shop. The green one is on sale for my GREEN SALE. omg

FREE Crochet Pattern - The Fox Plush from The Little Prince

UPDATE 2/8/23: Formatting got weird when I change my blog theme and I have now fixed it!     UPDATED: 10/3/22, for clarity!   You can now get a printable PDF version of this as a PAY WHAT YOU WANT pattern on my Ko-Fi here .     The finished Fox is about 23" from nose to tail. My gauge was approx. 4 sts/inch and 4 rows/inch and I chose to stuff the body and tail rather loosely, legs a bit more firm, but it's up to you. I like a floppy Fox. In The Little Prince (the Netflix movie version), Plushy Fox has orange ears with white inside and the black just around the edge. I chose to make my original Foxes (pictured to the right) with just black ears for silly aesthetic reasons, but you can easily sub in your orange for the backs of your Fox's ears. The new Fox I made had movie-accurate ears (below).   If you're not a crafty-type person, you stumbled across this pattern, and you want a Fox, don't hesitate to message me via Facebook . I'm pretty friendly and

  UPDATE 9/21/23: Bethesda rolled out an inferior Wilby pattern the other day, if you didn't know. If you'd like to compare it to my version, which is larger (I was shooting for accurate game size) then you can get that pattern here . I have been playing a great deal of Starfield. I am constantly encumbered by toys and potted plants. It's fine. Give me some pew-pew weapons, a spaceship, and let me collect cute plushies and plants for hours on end, which I'm piling in the middle of The Frontier because my cargo hold and captain's storage are full. Everything is full. Piles are the answer. Also, organs. Oh, my God. My dilemma with how to offload organs. Not the instrument, my dudes, I'm talking internal ones, which I steal. Anywho! Free pattern! Because I am nice and also Bethesda loves the copyright police when fans of their games want to make a few dollarbucks. It is what it is. Just like my in-game hoarding. You can though get a pay-what-you-want PDF version fr

This is mostly a joke pattern…or is it??? I whipped it up pretty quick because I thought it was funny, so if you want to expand upon or improve the pattern then by all means do so! Then share it with me because it will make me lol. You can tag my Facebook page or Instagram @michiarr ! I love seeing stuff people make with my dumb patterns! IMPORTANT: This cup will not keep your drinks hot nor cold. In fact, I strongly suggest that you do not put any liquids in this tumbler. The straw doesn’t work, and the lid doesn’t even come off. I mean, you could make the lid so it does come off if you want to, but still don’t put any liquids in this, please. Materials and Supplies ·          Worsted weight yarn in desired cup color, plus some gray, and some white      o    YARDAGE: less than 300 yards of each, way less than 300 of the gray and white ·          Stuffing material ·          Size G crochet hook ·          Yarn needle ·          Pins (optional, but recommended for po
