Bluebell loves to dance! Budding ballerinas will love making her graceful little body twirl and bend. Her body and head are knitted as one piece in the round while her arms, legs and tutu are knitted flat. The tutu has a simple lace pattern. Bluebell measures approx. 22cm and is knitted using DK yarn and 3mm dpn needles. I use needles 1 size smaller than the recommended needle size for my yarn as this produces a tighter knit which doesn’t loose it’s shape when stuffed. You may wish to add plastic pellets to the polyester filling to give the body more weight (optional).
