What a fantastic detailed pattern. I just loved knitting up this fabulous doll. Much bigger than I anticipated.

For the body I incorporated the Debbie Bliss with the cotton. This achieved good result with no gaps.

Used lots and lots of yarn from stash, so a great “stash buster”.

Notes to self.
Neck Stabilizer - Tunisian Crochet on smaller hook to achieve a firmer no-stretch fabric.

Hair baked at 95 deg. C. for 15-20 minutes and left in the oven for another half an hour. Pure Wool with a touch of mohair curled best. Anything with cotton didn’t hold curl. Used thin metal needles and soaked for about an hour.

Waist on Bloomers way too big. Had to sew in elastic so they wouldn’t keep falling down.
