Dobby’s ears are based on the Yoda ears from the ‘Crochet Yoda Hat’ (pattern link above). I started with 8sc instead of 6sc but still followed the pattern.

I’m not 100% happy with his face, but he’s near enough.

The notes on what I did to make the sock can be found here;

I pinched and shaped and stitched over the front of the head, around the eyes until I got a Dobby-like face.
I added and unravelled a few strands of yarn for his hair.

I made the body up as I went along - no notes for that.
I bought some white cheesecloth which I dyed with tea to make it look a little aged and made a very simple smock for Dobby.
