PT Barnum represents the famous showman and King of Humbug. From the top of his top hat, to the tips of his boots, he is ready to take the stage and wow the crown.

PT Barnum is knitted on size 6 knitting needles, with largely seamless construction, with the exception of shoulder seams and many buttons. He has a full shirt and vest underneath his red coat tails. 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.
