With full instructions on knitting a cute little fairy dolly with a removable dress and wings. The hat is sewn on. The pattern is knitted flat and seamed afterwards.
The dress is knitted in two halves and joined together, though could be left separate.
The top half is knitted neck down. The skirt is knitted from the bottom up.

This pattern is not technically difficult, using basic knitting stitches. The wings look crocheted but are in fact knitted.
There is some simple crotchet on her skirt and neck frill and a little on top of hat using single crotchet and chain stitch.
Although the crotchet could be changed for knitting which I have mentioned in the pattern, I like the difference and detail it adds.
Keep to an even tension for a smooth appearance. If you are a loose knitter either use a smaller needle or a thicker yarn. In this case I would suggest aran or worsted and the doll measurements may knit up slightly larger over all.

What you will need:

Materials Required
DK yarn in dark blue and pale blue,white and a skin colour
The hair was made using Yarn Bee in Buttercream, from the USA but other similar yarn will give the same effect.
Scraps of black and pink for eyes and mouth
Toy safety filling
A small button for the dress

Notions required
3mm knitting needles
Tapestry needle

Finished size
14.5 inches approx
