Bastian is getting a T.A.R.D.I.S. hat for Christmas, though he doesn't know it yet. I adopted this pattern from two other patterns and thought I'd share. Austen at The Marmalade Jar made a hat with a single T.A.R.D.I.S. on it for an adult. My variation uses her premise plus the Bigger on the Inside chart but adopts it for a child and adds five more T.A.R.D.I.S.es.
Pattern:
I used Knitpicks Comfy Worsted in Celestial.
Using size US 4 (3.5 mm) 16" round needle,
