The looming deadline made me realize that I never posted a pic of the completed Dalek hat. The ear-thingies actually have wee lights in them, but I only have a poor quality camera phone pic at the moment. Even with 4 pipe cleaners to support it, the eye stalk appears rather depressed.
Marvin the Dalek, then.
Can't write a pattern as I just kind of figured it out as I went along- but I could describe the different pieces and how they fit together, if anyone wants?
It was a fun project. Come cold weather, if you see me wearing it, be sure to stop and say "HI!" Heaven knows, everyone else will be avoiding me...
