Sock monster

I I found a pattern for an Adipose, a creature from a Dr Who series, it was made out of felt but I thought why not socks, why not indeed :) this is the link  http://crafts.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-make-an-adipose-plush-toy-from-doctor-who--craft-1558

I used a pair of men's crewel sock, two dolls eyes, and used the mouth, arms and feet from the pattern on the link.
 I gave him a dent where I wanted his eyes to be, carefully poked a hole close to stitches and added the eyes.
I added the eyes before I ladder stitched his bottom closed, and after I cut away the excess sock, which was the heel and top part. Cut out his hands and feet from the other sock, using the pattern from the link, his mouth from felt, which I glue on, and in no time a all a Adipose was born.
He will be a great gift for my nephew who is a Dr Who 
 
fan.
