George Washington represents the Father of the United States in his military days. From the top of his tricorn hat, to the tips of his boots, he is ready to take command of his troops and fight for independence.

George Washington is knitted on size 6 knitting needles, with largely seamless construction, with the exception of shoulder seams and very many buttons. Instead of a full shirt, he had a cravat and cuffs, to create less bulk under his layers of uniform. The button closure on the vest allows your favorite young patriot to dress and undress the doll.

Male dolls of this size being more difficult to find that female dolls, it may be helpful to know that this design was modeled on the “My Life As” doll available at Walmart.
