Actually, this is a cute squid hat costume created by Hiné Mizushima using a “cheap knit hat, thick felt, an “Amu-amu Pokemon” toy and yarn”.

We’ve shown you knitting patterns for TARDIS socks in the past, but these versions from Ellen Botilda might have a slightly better design.
The pattern to knit a pair for yourself is available for free (Google Docs), though we wish the BBC would just sell something similar ready-made for the rest of us.
Of course, these awesome hand-knit Mega Man Chucks won’t come cheap.
These are new Converse high tops. Megaman appears on the outside of each shoe. The uppers are hand knit in 100% superwash wool and are hand-stitched to the canvas shoes. The shoes sport the classic white sole and black tongue.
These shoes can be custom made in any size.

What woman wouldn’t kill to wear this magnificent knitted companion cube sweater? Just get your boyfriend to wear this Portal hoodie and you’ve got a whole cosplay thing going.
Unfortunately, this is a one-off design that took 10 days to knit.

Hello Kitty irritates me, but there’s no denying that these pants are cute as hell. Unfortunately, if you want a pair for your kid (or yourself, just admit it) you’ll have to learn how to knit. The pattern is the only thing up for sale.
Don’t be too disappointed if you lack the skills. Sanrio has never been one to turn down an opportunity to make a little money, so there’s hope that an official version could come out some day.

If you haven’t seen the work of Tracy Widdess before, her custom “Brutal Knitting” masks are inspired by “creepy sci-fi and horror”. It’s definitely not the kind of thing that you want to leave out in the open in your bedroom after dark—perched awkwardly on top of your dresser next to your closet where the shadows can play tricks with your mind. You’re liable to have dreams of knitting while running away from monsters.
Check out more designs after the break.

Most of the time, I don’t mind that I’m not crafty, but these patterns over at the Sanguine Gryphon are making me wish I was a knitter in the worst way.

If you are handy with needles and thread, you can use the pattern on whittylitteknitter to craft your own pair of TARDIS socks for the winter.
Unfortunately the socks aren’t going to be bigger on the inside than they are on the outside, so you won’t be able to fit your whole body in there when you really want to get cozy. For that you will need the TARDIS dress.
