The tagline for the soon to be released Coraline film is "welcome to/discover a hand made world". With that in mind I set out to make something handmade to commemorate the film, my love for Neil, and my appreciation of what the people at LAIKA are doing to adapt Neil Gaiman's fantastic book into an awesome movie.

I can't make anything other than scarves when I crochet, but seeing as how several characters have crochetted parts [i.e. Wybie] or clothing made from other objects I thought crochetting was appropo. Also, the grey scale yarn made this really awsome wavy pattern that just cried out "IM MIST!" and I've had the "evil buttons" sitting around for years, ever since I finished the book and saw them at JoAnns.

The clicking fringe and the keys were ideas that came later while poking around a local Michaels.

A scarf dedicated to Coraline herself is in the works.
