The Ultimate Doctor Who Afghan — Weeping Angel
The Weeping Angel is one of the recurring villains in the Doctor Who series. The Weeping Angels appear to be angel statues, but are rather a quantum-locked species that cover their faces to avoid looking at each other and trapping each other in a frozen state. They feed off others’ time energy by sending their victims into the past. The victims then “live to death.” The only way to avoid an angels’ death is to keep looking at them and not even blink.
Because the Weeping Angels appear so frequently in the Doctor Who episodes, they are one of three villains I’ve chosen for this afghan. The others are the Cybermen and the Daleks. Even though this block only has three colors, it does require lots of bobbins and is one of the more challenging blocks in this blanket. So, make space for it, and let’s get started!

Materials
~Weeping Angel Pixel Graph (click to download)
~ Loops and Threads Impeccable Yarn 4.5 oz skeins in the following colors (amounts are approximations):
- Kelly Green — 3.3 ounces
- Pale Grey — 3.4 ounces
- Thunder — 2.1 ounces
~ 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!
