TARDIS for your christmas tree

Hi all, here's a super fast easy pattern for a TARDIS crochet ornament to hang on your xmas tree this year.
The finished TARDIS turns out to be about 8cm tall, is hollow but keeps its shape when hung from a tree.

This TARDIS is designed to fit my little Doctor plushies inside. Add a few more sc rows if you wish to make a TARDIS that fits a Doctor with a hat inside

See the Patterns Page for my other Doctor Who patterns including big and mini doctor plushies ^_^

Enjoy!

I have made three in the last few days you can see the latest iteration here. I added little felt windows and a little bit of sewing on the last two. http://www.flickr.com/photos/angels_have_the_phone_box/4172105257/
