Looking for a pattern to make a special gift for a child that is special to you? Knit a doll that have similar skin, hair and eye-color as the child you are making the gift for, and he or she will have a great companion for everyday play and adventures.

This pattern for a knitted Waldorf doll has all the shaping of legs, arms, body and head done while knitting in the round most of the time. The doll Thomas is 45 cm high, head circumference is 28 cm, and he is 30 cm around the hips.

The pattern is carefully written, but to knit it it is necessary to concentrate quite a lot. May be not the best project to work on during very engaging film watching or in highly social settings.

Knitters who have made socks and mittens on double pointed needles before will manage fine to make this doll.

In addition to two 50 gram balls of Rauma 3-ply yarn you will need embroidery yarn for eyes and mouth, yarn for hair, leftover yarn or Tumi yarn from Rauma for clothes, and washed and carded wool for the body to make this doll.
