This knitted topsy turvy doll features Red Riding Hood in a long skirt with a basket of goodies for granny.  But there’s more to this knitted doll than first meets the eye as she is actually two dolls in one …. turn her over and reverse her skirt and she becomes the Big Bad Wolf dressed as Granny!

This pattern has been designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz using acrylic DK yarns, and is knitted flat on single pointed needles. The wolf’s bonnet chin strap is a single crochet chain worked on a crochet hook.
