The Ultimate Doctor Who Afghan — Cyberman
Cybermen are one of the unfriendly alien “races” that frequently pop up in the Doctor Who series. Cybermen are created by melding humans or their organs with metal parts. The process creates cyborgs which have lost all human emotions and personalities. Cybermen can only create new Cybermen by harvesting humans and frequently try to take over the world for that purpose. This is the fate of Rose Tyler’s mom Jackie on an alternate Earth and of Clara Oswald’s boyfriend Danny Pink.
Along with the Daleks and the Weeping Angels, the Cybermen are one of three villains I’ve chosen for this afghan. This block is a little easier than the Weeping Angel block and the TARDIS panel, so enjoy the breather. Next up is the Dalek and it’s not easy!

Cyberman Mini C2C Crochet Block
NOTE: Remember that this afghan is intended to be stitched using mini corner-to-corner crochet. If you need to learn mini C2C or need a refresher, click to the intro post for a linked video from Repeat Crafter Me.
Materials
~Cyberman Pixel Graph (click to download)
~ Loops and Threads Impeccable Yarn 4.5 oz skeins in the following colors (amounts are approximations):
- Kelly Green — 2.0 ounces
- Pale Grey — .6 ounce
- True Grey — .9 ounce
- Thunder — .7 ounce
- Black — .2 ounce
~ Size H Crochet Hook or hook needed to achieve gauge (see Gauge for C2C Afghans)
~ Yarn Needle
Crochet the square starting from the bottom right corner of the chart using mini C2C. Row-by-row written instructions are below.
After you finish crocheting the block, crochet one row of single crochet in KELLY GREEN around the entire panel. I crocheted 2 SC stitches across each mini C2C square, basically, one in the middle of the square and one in between squares around the entire panel, with 3 SC stitches in each corner.
Make sure the edging does not pull the block tight or, conversely, cause the edge to ripple. You want the panel to lie flat when you are finished. You may need to adjust how you stitch around the block for your own tension. Just be consistent in how you work the SC around each block and panel in the blanket.

Stitch happy!
