Iron Craft ’15 Challenge #7 – Dalek Mittens

For this challenge, we were to craft around the letter “D.” I went through lists of things starting with “D” in my head trying to come up with an idea. I was a little stumped and then thought of my current Netflix binge, Doctor Who. (Yes, I am a little late to the party.) Could I make mittens that looked like Daleks?! The shape was pretty close, so I thought I’d give it a try.

Daleks have come in lots of different colors and have had slightly different design feature through out the years. I took my inspirations from this one

and these.

My mittens are meant to be a side view with the thumb as the “arm.” I didn’t add a second “arm” because I thought something else sticking out there might be annoying to wear.

I almost didn’t get these done on time, they just went in for blocking yesterday. I ripped the first one back three or four times to change things up, so the pattern is not quite ready yet. I’ll have it available here on Thursday.
