How to crochet: Sonic Screwdriver

I have been getting requests for a long time now to do some Doctor Who related stuff, so I figured why not start now! We've got a new Doctor, and it's Halloween time, so lets get it going! So this week is the Week of Who! What that means is a new Whovian creation every day this week. It started yesterday with Daleks, and bam, new to the Etsy store was both a group of exterminating aliens and the patterns to make them!

But wait! You can also win one of these by simply re-posting one of the Instagram pictures from the Week of Who from my Instagram (here) and tagging me, @louiesloops, and posting it with #weekofwho!

Well enough rambling, today is Tuesday, and I usually try to come out with a free pattern on Tuesdays so here it is! A free how to pattern for the 10th Doctors sonic screwdriver!
