Doctor Who - Free Knitting Patterns

As putting my themed collections together has been a good thing for the "Despicable Me" patterns, I figured it was time to collate the Doctor Who ones.... And show off that I'm going to the BBC symphonic spectacular in the new year! Mostly these are knitting patterns, but the odd craft project is also in the list.

"Despicable Me" Minion - iPad Cozy - Knitting Pattern

As the other Minion themed knitting patterns have been going gang-busters, it was time to finish this iPad cozy. I admit it's been on the needles for like a month! It's been a crazy month, and my wrists were still recovering from RSI from knitting the Doctor Who Scarf.



But I am pleased with this endevour no end.

You will need:
4.5mm needles
Yellow and blue dk wool
Scraps of black, white and grey wool
1 large black button
Crochet hook
Bodkin needle
Scraps of stuffing

Cut yarn, thread through remaining stitch. Crochet a chain approx 5 cm long, attach as a loop to the top of the point.







On the short side of the cover, pick up 15 stitches in blue for the front of the overalls. These should start 10 stitches in from the edge.
Stst 10 rows in blue.
Cast off

Stitch up the side and bottom of the cover. Insert iPad or cardboard the right size into the cover. Embroider overall straps and eye-goggle band on. This helps to keep the right shape for the cover.

Crochet a white circle, approx 8cm in diameter. Crochet one row of grey around the white centre and stitch onto the cover. Stitch a large black button onto the centre of the eye. You could use felt rather than crochet the eye piece.


Arms - optional - make 2

Cast on 16 stitches
Stst 12 rows
K2 tog over whole row
Cut yarn, slip all remaining stitches onto yarn, pull to tighten. Stitch up the side, stuff and attach to the cozy.

"Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" - 'Don't Panic' iPad Cozy

Well... I am a Douglas Adams fan, and soon I'm off to China. So I bought the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" Trilogy of Five to read on the flight. Common sense prevailed, and then I downloaded the kindle version. I don't have enough room in my carry on for the whole book otherwise.

Thus my iPad needed a new cozy.... And a reminder not to panic.




You will need:
Size 4mm needles
Black, red and yellow yarn. (I used a silver thread to simulate stars)
2 buttons (I used a whale and a blue flower)

Hitchikers Guide iPad Cover

On 4mm needles cast on 48 stitches
Rib (k2,p2) 6 rows

Stst 66 rows

Complete chart
K10, k chart row, k10
P10, p chart row, p10
(Etc until completed)



Stst 20 rows

K14, yrn, k2 tog, k18, yrn, k2tog, k14
(This makes the button holes)

K9 rows
Cast off

The sewing up is easiest around an iPad.
Centre the words on the back. Fold the knitter fabric around, overlapping the ribbed and knitted portions. Sew up sides. Attach buttons.

Doctor Who Tardis iPad Cozy - Knitting Pattern

On Friday I impulse-bought Tardis yarn from a sale bin. Yesterday this was made. This cozy will fit over an iPad with a hard shell back or fitted case already.





It's not too Tardisy- yet has enough to be recognised. It also is reminiscent of River Songs diary, so it has that going for it too.

You will need:
2 balls of Tardis blue yarn (dk) - or one big ball... The balls I had were approx 75m long
Black yarn
3 buttons (I used blue stars for travelling through space and time.).
4.5mm needles

Fold over in the section with 6 rows (slightly less than half way.
Stitch up the sides.

Line the button hole section over the blue rib section and add buttons to close.



To make this as River Songs Diary:
Do not change to black: remain using blue
Instead of buttons, stitch on a red ribbon to tie through the button holes.
