Frodo The Ring Bearer possesses immense bravery and an incorruptible heart. This doll is made with wired limbs (the better to wield his trusted Sting), and of course around his neck, The One Ring to Rule Them All. This 12-page pattern features over 40 colour photos and two video links to guide you through Middle-earth’s crochet journey. Additionally, a visual guide to recommended tools and supplies ensures a seamless crafting quest, suitable for crocheters with some hobbit-like stitching experience.
