This little fella is a birthday gift for Dan who loves boiled eggs and Batman. Ergo the ideal pressie is surely a Batman egg cosy - no?
I would love to say this is all my own design but he is based on pattern from the wonderful Ravelry website which I use a lot to get inspiration from. I am really pleased with him - I think it is one of the best things I have crocheted so far.
It is tricky making crocheted gifts for someone you live with as you make them in little fits and starts as the other person is upstairs/out - thank goodness Dan paints each day giving me a bit of time to get something made. This does however lead to slightly comedy moments as I rapidly stuff what I am making back in my workbag when Dan finishes painting quicker than I expected. I try to sit there with an innocent look on my face but I am not sure it works very often! I did leave him on the table one day by accident when Dan came downstairs but he didn't notice and I quickly stuffed him back in the bag. Whew!!
Love it! I'm following this pattern too but tweaked it to a smaller egg. Did you do your cape and head different by any chance? x
