Wibbly Wobbley Timey Wimey Stuff

As if the other hats I've made for myself in the past don't show what I giant geek I am. But no, I went and made myself a TARDIS beret. I used Cathy Wood's beret pattern from Ravelry for the overall hat design and just winged the details as I went.

It's made with Lion Brand blue heather of some sort, glow in the dark yellow (for the top where the light was), unknown white and and unknown black, on an H sized hook.


There was a lot of swearing involved in this and unfortunately, I didn't count my stitches as I got down to the black signs or the windows, so they are not even in length. The rectangles' different sizes aren't enough to be real obvious to anyone other than me, I think. I looked for some small iron on adhesive letters to spell out POLICE in the black sign areas, but I didn't see any that I thought would be small enough, so I'm going for a "less is more" approach to this hat's design.

If it actually got colder out here, this would be an excellent hat for the winter. It's snug around the ears and has plenty of room up top for my hair,which is nice because if I have my hair in a pony tail, then it would still fit comfortably.

I would like to point out that I almost had a heart attack when I saw this on Geek Crafts the other day. I guess the bloggers of Geek Crafts saw my posing on Craftster about my hat and carried it over to their site.
