These dolls are my perfect blend of honey and wool. I love imagining them busy amongst my flowers. I hope you find them not only cute, but also stress-free to make. This pattern has been updated, so it is more printer friendly. It also now includes wings for the dolls.

To make a knit peg doll, you need:

  • One 12mm wooden bead for the head
  • One pipe cleaner for the body
  • Scrap yarn
  • A set of dpns
  • One free evening

My wonderful test knitter BrambleberryBear has been kind enough to provide us with some great resources on her project page. Thank you Sheila!
