Years ago at my son’s Waldorf preschool, I fell in love with peg dolls. Then sadly I realized how fiddly it was to knit their tiny clothes. So I gave myself the goal of designing non-fiddly ones. Now after many years and with much joy I have knitter-friendly peg dolls! Hooray!

To make a knit peg doll, you’ll need: One 12mm wooden bead for the head, one pipe cleaner for the body, scrap yarn (in pretty colors), a set of dpns and one free evening! You do not need a wooden peg doll.

Happy Knitting!

This is enormous fun to knit! (teeliebhaberin)

The loveliest little dollies ever! I enjoyed knitting every stitch! (sotnos)

This was such fun to make! It came out the way I wanted it to because the pattern was easy to follow with thorough directions. (Margarita)

This was so much fun, so easy to make and to finish, and so cute! I will make more, such a brilliant pattern, a peg free peg doll! (benedetta)

I fell in love when I first saw this pattern. Now she is ready to enjoy. (bonewoman)

I am obsessed with making these. They knit up so quickly and my toddler loves them. Absolutely perfect for using up scraps. This pattern is amazingly detailed and fabulously written. (Riyahn)
