Doll Dressed as a Swiss Peasant Bride
This pattern appeared in Weldon’s Practical Knitter 55th series in Volume 18 (1903)
Original description: Our illustration represents a doll beautifully dressed in knitting in the costume of a Swiss peasant bride, and though a good deal of painstaking is essential in the making of the clothes, which consist of combination garment, petticoat, stockings, chemisette, dress-skirt, bodice, apron, and veil, to take off and put on, the result will be highly satisfactory, either as a gift to a child, or as a contribution to a sale of work. Select a wax doll with a pretty face, fair hair, and deep blue eyes, height 18 inches, waist measurement about 9 inches, and at the same time get a ready-made pair of pink kid shoes to fit. The other requisites are 2 oz. of white Andulasian wool, 1/2 oz of white and 1/2 oz of brown Shetland, 1 oz of white soft 4 ply fingering, 2 oz of shrimp-pink, and 1 oz of bright peacock-blue single Berlin, two balls of Ardern’s no. 22 white crochet cotton, four no. 16, and four no. 18 steel knitting needles, a dozen tiny pearl or linen buttons, 1 yard of narrow white elastic, and a few artificial flowers, iliies of the valley and forget-me-nots, to make a bouquet.
