Now he wields two Infinity Stones! I made him the Scepter, aka the Glowstick of Destiny. Bit of a rush job, but I’m entering him into a crochet competition tomorrow, so it had to be finished tonight. If I had time I’d extend the plate ridges on the back, not that you can see them clearly in this photo.

The metallic yarn is difficult to work with and twists a lot. The Sceptre has some florist’s wire in it to help keep the shape. I had to insert the stuffing with a pair of wooden chopsticks and a great deal of patience.

The Infinity Stones reminisce

The Reality Stone said, “Malekith waited five thousand years to rejoin me.”

The Power Stone said, “The Guardians of the Galaxy were my found family.”

The Soul Stone said, “Everyone sacrificed a loved one for me.”

The Time Stone said, “They swore an oath to protect me. They built me a beautiful home.”

The Space Stone said, “ Loki rescued me from the fires of Ragnarok itself.”

The Mind Stone simply said, “Wanda,” with a voice that made the others ache.

The rightful king of Asgard and Jotunheim, as dressed for his invasion of Earth in 2012. It took me one month to make the base doll, using a pattern by Maria Gavrilova, then five months of crafting time to design and make the outfit. Is it perfect? No. I can point out many errors. But I’m pretty happy with it overall. (If anyone’s interested, I could write a post going through all the bits I’m dissatisfied with...)

Loki wears a number of variations of this armour in The Avengers. This version (sans helmet) is what he wears during his confrontation with Tony Stark in Stark Tower, and later when Thor uses the Tesseract to take them both back to Asgard.

Many photos behind the cut of Loki getting dressed.

The many bits and pieces. Not pictured: the alternative hair/wig from The Dark World.

Trousers and boots.

Top and vambraces.

Surcoat, shoulder piece, pauldron, and belt.

The helmet’s horns are supported by a wireframe similar to that pictured.
