Violet
Size of doll: approx 20 inches
Designer: Raewyn Parker (Red Hen Designs)
This delightful dressed doll is approx. 20 inches high and is suitable for intermediate knitters. She is worked flat and seamed. She has 3 different floral-themed clothing options.
She is knitted in 8Ply/Dk wool on 3mm needles (UK 11). The yarn I used is a standard pure wool 8 ply She has button eyes you can easily embroider these instead, especially important if you are making a doll for a child under 3 years old.
I have included lots of photos which makes it a large file/pattern.
The doll herself is for intermediate knitters. I also make crochet chains for the ties, but you could use narrow ribbon or make a twisted cord instead. I have provided lots of links to websites to get tutorials in techniques
