We all love our Android devices. I mean, we write about the stuff non-stop! It's always great to have a bunch of paraphernalia around too. As an example, I have 2 Darth Vaders on my desk on either side of my Android Creature, making sure he's safe at all times.
Add cool crocheted Android character to the list. At www.bethsco.com, you'll see a crocheted Android robot made for her husband because he loves his Android as much as we do. The coolest part of this is that you can either buy one for yourself from the site, or you can follow the directions and crochet yourself one. If only I can convince my wife that I need one of these too.

[ Edit – Sorry for the title snafu, we changed from “Knit” to Crochet!] [via Bethsco]
thanks so much! i am thinking of turning this to a toilet roll container …
@Anonymous . . . clearly you don’t understand the difference between KNIT and CROCHET. In male terms it’s the difference between a crap car and the latest porsche, ferrari etc. So please keep your insults for another forum. Like any article that allows comments . . . you have to take the negative with the positive. BTW, I’ve already made 4 of this little guys for my daughter!!!
Wow… what a bunch of dicks. You guys just mad cause you can’t do it too?
This is awesome. It’s crocheted though, not knitted.
I’m not usually one to point this out (my blog is called knithacker yet I often feature crochet pieces) but with the pattern and all the references, I thought it a good deed.
So the rest of the crafters don’t come laugh at you…that’s crochet. Might want to change the title to “Crochet an Android Robot Amigurumi.
This is crochet, not knit. I was all excited to see the headline because I’d already found a crochet pattern but I don’t crochet. Just thought you guys might want to know so you could correct the article. Thanks for doing such a great job bringing us all sorts of Android info!
This is crochet, not knitting.
Hi there
pls update as this is not knitted, but crocheted. You’ll make a lot of knitters pretty unsure of themselves when they read this
Cool project but the blog title should be changed. This is a CROCHET project, not knit.
Cute…easy to make. But this is CROCHET not knit.
Sorry you do not know the difference between knit and crochet. I hope someone teaches you! It really is cute and of course I am saving the pattern!
