Tessa is a really gorgeous doll and I named the cat after one of my two new kittens that came to live with me the week before I started the test

If you’ve bought any of CaroCreated’s patterns before, then you know how well they are written. If you have not, then you are in for a treat. They are very detailed and very precise and Tess is no different. She guides you through what to do at each stage and if you do exactly as she says, and look at the pictures where you are not sure, then the pattern will work!

A point to note, the crochet is ss, sc and dc so basic stitching, but it is not a beginners pattern. The tension needs to be good and you really, really must count!

I like to choose my own colours and teal/turquise are my very favourites. Red headed little girls are just divine so Tessa is my perfect combination.

And that cat! How gorgeous is she??
