One Vera fan has earned the praise of fans, the creator and even DCI Stanhope herself after sharing snaps of a crocheted doll gift she has made.
In a tweet to Brenda Blethyn, keen crocheter Eleanor Chafer said: “My sister asked me to crochet a DCI Vera doll for her fiance, as they are both big fans of the show. Thought you might like to see how it turned out.”
The doll, featuring Vera in her iconic hat, mac and red scarf, complete with little boots, was an instant hit. The Oscar-nominated actress praised the work, saying “This is amazing work, particularly like the boots! They look so comfortable.”
