This is the pattern for an approx. 20" (50cm) tall model of the 10th Doctor from Doctor who (played by David Tennant). Please tell me if you find any faults with this pattern as it is quite likely there will be some since it is rather long. The face is made to look like David Tennant's by shaping it with lots of small stitches, but I have added quite a few pictures along the way to help you.
Please note: I have decided to change the way I write my patterns slightly to make them easier to read. Instead of writing 'sc in the following 12 sts' (or whatever the number of stitches is), in many cases I have just written 'sc12' (Also 'sc, hdc, dc' would mean 'sc1, hdc1, dc1' or' sc in the first st, hdc in the next st and dc in the following st')
If you dislike this please tell me and I'll never do it again :)
Please also note: whenever you are crocheting and encounter a slipped st in the previous row/round, crochet over the top of it into the row below to in effect hide it (unless stated otherwise). I have tried to remind you of this in the pattern but it happens such a lot that I may have forgotten on a few occasions.

Sew the ears onto the head
you then need to do some shaping on the face to make it resemble David Tennant's more.
First put some stitches through the nose to shape it. start from the ridge of the nose and the work your way down to finish with shaping the nostrils.
When you are happy (enough) with your nose move on to shaping the rest of the face. Don't fret too much if your nose doesn't look exactly right as this is not the defining feature of his face - you can always come back to it if you feel you need to. I went next to the eye sockets to try to deepen them. Do this by making repeated stitches through the head from the eye socket to the back of the head. Pull the thread tight. when you the return the needle to the eye socket try to push it back through the exact place your needle emerged from so that you don't create dents in the back of the head.
Next embroider in the eyes. Using white 4ply yarn embroider in the whites of the eyes (Image 1), then use the brown embroidery thread to embroider the iris over the top. I embroidered a dark brown ring for the outline (Image 2), then filled this in with medium brown embroidery yarn (Image 3). I then used black embroidery thread to embroider the pupil in the centre of the eye over the top of the iris (Image 4).
Next start on the eyebrows. Starting near the nose, embroider the eyebrows on using brown yarn. Try to make them resemble David Tennant's as much as possible
For the mouth:
Embroider the mouth onto the face using the pink and black embroidery thread. Find a picture of David Tennant with a smile you want to replicate and try to copy it. Don't obsess too much over this (remember that mouths usually look really weird when you look at them on their own but look fine when you don't scrutinize them)
For the hair:
The hair requires several different steps which can't easily be done separately.
Build it up slowly over time - it will look kind of ridiculous at first but just keep adding bits here and there, paying attention to the reference images shown below, and it should end up looking great.
Step 1 - cutting the strands of hair
It's very difficult to guess how much hair you need to add, so I suggest you cut a few bundles to start with and then keep making more of them as you run out.
Cut two pieces of cardboard - one about 4cm long and the other about 7cm long. Wind yarn brown 4ply yarn around the length of these many times to make a bundle, then cut the bundle at both ends to make lots of 4cm or 7cm long pieces.
Step 2 - The sideburns
I tried to do these before I added the hair as they are quite a defining feature, but I found I had to tweak them and add to them as the hair developed.
Embroider the sideburns on using the brown 4ply yarn
Step 3 - the hair of the top of the head
This step really overlapped with step 4 (adding the shorter hair to the back and sides of the head), but I chose to add this first because I find it easier to go from the top downwards.
Using the what I think is the standard method of adding amigurumi hair (fold the strand in half, thread the looped end through a stitch non the head and loop the ends through (a video can be found here)), begin to attach the 7cm strands of hair to the top of the head, brushing it forwards as you do so to mimic David Tennant's hairstyle.
Step 4 - Adding the hair to the sides and back of the head
add the short sections of hair to the back of the head in the same way as you attached the long strands before. This is quite fiddly and if you can't manage it you may want to cut slightly longer sections and trim them down more later. Add these all the way down the head and the neck section to the nape of the neck.
Step 5 - cutting the hair and securing it in place
This is the only step that should really be carried out in its order (i.e. this step can only really be carried out once all the other steps are finished)
Use scissors to cut the hair to the correct length, and then use a needle and some brown thread to sew some stitches over the top of the hair - particularly where you have cut it very short at the back - to keep it in place. Push the front hair forwards a little to make it resemble David Tennant's more.

For the eyelets:
If you don't want to make these they aren't necessary - you can just thread the shoelaces straight through the holes made by the crochet, but I feel they add an extra touch to the doll.
With silver embroidery thread make repeated stitches around the outside of the holes where you are planning to thread your laces. I found it easier to get a good circle by pushing the blunt end of a small crochet hook through the hole whilst I did this to keep the hole in position whilst I sewed it in place.
For the soles:
using as sharpie trace onto a tough bit of plastic the shape of the sole of the shoe (inside the outer stitching on the sole).
Do this twice, then cut along the line you drew and place these pieces of plastic inside the sole of the shoe to keep it rigid.
If the plastic you are using isn't clear you will need to trace carefully around the outside of the boot, cut the piece of plastic out and then slowly trim it so it fits inside the shoe.

Sew these to the bottom of the shoe on the inside, sandwiching the plastic piece in between this and the bottom of the shoe.
For the shoelaces (make 2):
cut three 45cm long strands of embroidery thread. Plait them together and knot each end, then thread this lace through the eyelets on the shoes. I found it easier to start plaiting from the middle to the end, then return to the middle and plait out to the other end (this meant I didn't end up starting off very loosely and get tighter and tighter as I went along)

The basic body of this is crocheted with a plastic-y bit in the middle, and then little details are embroidered on. This is, in my opinion, the hardest part of the model, since it is so fiddly.

Now you need to assemble the screwdriver
from the thin, clear plastic cut a strip 1cm x 1.5 cm
curl this into a tube 1cm tall and use selotape to stick it in place. Push one end into the inside of the middle section of the screwdriver (the longest one) so that most of it is pointing out and use white or grey sewing thread to sew it in place.
This is a bit difficult, and the tube will inevitably get a bit crumpled but just try your best
The diagrams below show two ways to sew the plastic in place. The thick outer circle represents the outer crocheted section, and the thin inner circle represents the plastic tube nestled inside. The first diagram shows the ideal way to sew the plastic on, making small running stitches through the plastic/ crochet, but this is extremely tricky since the plastic is quite tough and what you are working with is very small. What I did instead was more akin to the second diagram: making repeated stitches through the entire width of the screwdriver (through crochet plastic, plastic then crochet) which held it in place reasonably well.
Next take a single strand of yellow embroidery thread and attach it to the bottom of the silver end of this section you have just been working on. Thread it up through the centre of this section you have just made.
After you do this thread the other end of the strand through the middle of the tip section of the screwdriver and out of the end (or a bit near the end - you are going to have to hide the ending when you fasten off (which you should not do yet) so it doesn't really matter too much where it comes out)
slide the plastic section into the open end of the tip, then sew the plastic in place. Make sure the yellow strand is taut inside the plastic tube
Once the plastic section is sewn in place fasten off the yellow strand, making side that you cannot see the thread from the outside anywhere except the inside of the tube. The easiest way I found to do this way to make a few repeated stitches through the middle of the screwdriver, placing my needle in almost the same place it had emerged
Next sew the black end section onto the silver end of the screwdriver (this will cover up where you fastened on the yellow embroidery thread)
Next add a small blue stripe to the grey section of the screwdriver:
with 3 strands of medium blue embroidery thread (use the bright blue if you don't have any) make a long stitch along the side of the screwdriver
After this use grey thread to add a small bump to the side of the srewdriver
make repeated stitches just below the silver section.
curl this into a tube 1cm tall and use selotape to stick it in place. Push one end into the inside of the middle section of the screwdriver (the longest one) so that most of it is pointing out and use white or grey sewing thread to sew it in place.
This is a bit difficult, and the tube will inevitably get a bit crumpled but just try your best
 |
| You need to insert the end of the plastic tube into the hole shown by the arrow. I found it easier to open up the hole using the blunt end of a crochet hook before doing this. If your tube really doesn't fit in place you may need to make a thinner tube by cutting another piece of plastic that isn't so wide. |

Next take a single strand of yellow embroidery thread and attach it to the bottom of the silver end of this section you have just been working on. Thread it up through the centre of this section you have just made.
After you do this thread the other end of the strand through the middle of the tip section of the screwdriver and out of the end (or a bit near the end - you are going to have to hide the ending when you fasten off (which you should not do yet) so it doesn't really matter too much where it comes out)
slide the plastic section into the open end of the tip, then sew the plastic in place. Make sure the yellow strand is taut inside the plastic tube
Once the plastic section is sewn in place fasten off the yellow strand, making side that you cannot see the thread from the outside anywhere except the inside of the tube. The easiest way I found to do this way to make a few repeated stitches through the middle of the screwdriver, placing my needle in almost the same place it had emerged
 |
| the yellow lines show where the thread should go to fasten off (although obviously this would be inside the screwdriver behind the tip) |
Next sew the black end section onto the silver end of the screwdriver (this will cover up where you fastened on the yellow embroidery thread)
Next add a small blue stripe to the grey section of the screwdriver:
with 3 strands of medium blue embroidery thread (use the bright blue if you don't have any) make a long stitch along the side of the screwdriver
After this use grey thread to add a small bump to the side of the srewdriver

Fasten off loose threads.
This is probably as detailed as you are going to get it for all intents and purposes - however, because I am so meticulous, I added some extra details that I'm not totally convinced made the screwdriver a whole lot better, but here they are:
To recreate the bumps around the end of the screwdriver I wound embroidery thread around wher I wanted them to go and then tightened it as much as I could.
I think this would have worked better if the screwdriver was slightly longer so there was enough room for them
I also tried to make a hole through the screwdriver at the top by making stitches around the edge of the hole the same way I did with the eyelets and shirt buttonholes but I'm not convinced it made much, if any, difference

Finally sew the screwdriver to the hand if you want to use this doll as a model or, if you want to be able to play around with him place the screwdriver in the inside pocket of the coat
