18" Doll Maid Marion
50 Grams Shibui Lace 2031 Crimson Poppy (Any Lace Wool will do)
25 Grams Shibui Silk Cloud 2031 Crimson Poppy (Any Lace Mohair will do)
50 Grams Feza Night (I don’t recommend substituting a different metallic)
3 Snaps
Matching thread
Size 5 US Needles
Size 3 US Needles
Gauges:
1 strand each wool and mohair on a US 5
23 sts & 32 rows = 4”
1 Strand mohair on US 3
27 sts & 38 rows = 4”
1 Strand Mohair on US 5
24 sts & 32 rows = 4”
Notes:
The materials are a little fussy but the knitting itself is straightforward and easy.
Leave 8-12” tails throughout to use for sewing or for closing up tiny imperfections.
Dress Overall: Finishing is worked as you go - don’t skip around with parts. I did a lot of blocking to get skirt not to curl, but this yarn can handle it. If you feel unsure, end skirt with 6 rows of knit.
Bodice: When working the separate sections, keep all stitches on the same needles. Resist the urge to put them on stitch holders, the piece is small and mohair is fragile, it may stretch your piece out. If you must have the stitches out of your way, use a spare length of yarn.
