I used a pattern that I had worked out when I made this Grey Hobgoblin, I just didn't give him the furry hair or a tail.
I had wanted to dress Dobby as he's described in the books after he becomes a free elf, with shorts, a tie, mis-matched socks and a tea cosy for a hat. However, my son (who hasn't read the books) wanted him to look the way he does in the films, so I crocheted a smock-like garment that's supposed to look like his pillowcase. I might have looked better made of fabric, but I always find it easier to make things out of yarn. Anyway, my son loved him, so that's all that counts!

Greetings from Holland, Ivonne
What a great Mom. Dobby is adorable.
I love him. I wasn't happy when Dobby died either. It just did not seem fair! It looks like I'll have to make myself a Dobby doll so I'll feel better too~
Thanks for all the lovely comments! Dobby's death always gets me choked up too - even when I was just skim-reading the books to check his description before I made him! So, I was happy to make him for my son - maybe I'll steal Dobby when he isn't looking!
This is fantastic!! You are so talented
Thank you!
So cute! We just saw Dobby die in the film and am desperate to crochet him to comfort the kids. Do you sell this pattern?
Kind regards, Barbara
My 6 year old cried uncontrollably when Dobby died! I hastily promised him a Dobby doll for his upcoming birthday to soothe him. Little did I know they are all collector items! I would really, truly love to know how to make this or purchase one from you. His party is Oct. 8, and I would so love to surprise him with this! Could you possibly sell the pattern or a Dobby doll?
I'm pleased you like him! I am currently working on a pattern, but I want to come up with a few variations so you could use the same pattern to make different elf/goblin/imp creatures. Jessie, contact me privately through Etsy conversation (http://www.lucyravenscar.etsy.com) or Ravelry (http://www.ravelry.com/designers/lucy-ravenscar) and I'll see if I can make sure you get the pattern in time to make it for your son.
You are my crochet god. You seem to have made everything I want to crochet (maybe because I have a 6 year old son with similar taste to your own kids). I have made yoda and darth vader, a dragon (and his girlfriend), totoros in a variety of sizes and now a dobby! Hurry up with the pattern please!
I think Dobby is soooo cute!! My sister and I are a huge dobby fan. I would love to be able to crochet him!!
Dear Lucy, I need a copy of Dobby too. My neice wants one. Thanks, ~V (plentyofyarn@yahoo.com)
Dobby is my favorite character in the Harry Potter series and I was so upset when he died. I left the theater in tears. You did a fantastic job on this! I was wondering if you could also send me the pattern if you could. I would really appreciate it :)

Thanks for all your kind comments. As soon as the pattern is ready I'll post here and let you know.
Just found your little Dobby! You've got another fan! What an adorable, loveable little free elf! I'm going to have to learn how to crochet or find someone who will take an order! Looking forward to the pattern. Thanks so much!
Thank you! I have finally got the pattern up in my Etsy shop. You can find it here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/85800576/pattern-for-little-folk-amigurumi-elf
Absolutely awe inspiring. As soon as I came across this blog and saw your Etsy posting, I bought the pattern! :)
Thank you!
OMG!!! I LOVE Dobby!! Do you sell the pattern for him? I had always wished they SOLD a Dobby somewhere, but I never did hear of one. I would LOVE to make one if I could. I already have a Harry Potter, I crocheted, that people just LOVE every time they see him! I'm very proud of him, and think he would love Dobby for some company on my bookshelf! ~tina
Me again! Just found your pattern on Etsy, from another post! ~tina
Thanks, I'm pleased you like Dobby. As you found, my 'Little Folk' pattern has the details i used to make Dobby.
