Finished size: 15cm
All parts are knitted flat and sewn up at the end.
The knitting skills required are the basic knit and purl, however, take care when you are assembling the parts. Previous doll making experience is advantageous.
The dolls share the basic body pattern. The outfits are secured to the bodies and are not removable.
The crochet hook is used to create chains and form a flower using those chains. The instructions are provided in the file, and no prior knowledge of crochet techniques is necessary for this project.
While it isn’t an absolute necessity, a felting needle can be quite helpful for refining the hairstyle.
