Don’t fear the reaper!
The toy is knitted in the round and that is why the pattern is recommended for Advanced Beginner Knitters.
The finished doll with hood weared is approximately 17,5 inches (45 cm) tall. When sitting is about 14 inches (36 cm)
The finished doll without the hood is approximately 15 inches (38 cm) tall.
A wire skeleton inside the arms allows the doll to hold small objects by itself.
