Notes & Tips  ● ● ● ● ● ●

Doll is worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise noted. Place marker at the beginning  of each round.   Clothing can be worked either separately and then placed on the doll or worked around  the body of the doll.   Make secure, firm stitches.  Stuff doll firmly along the way.   While working the body of the doll you can hide the yarn tails in the body to save time  weaving in ends.   Take your time in your finishing work, embroidery and sewing for the best results.  

Gauge  24 sc over 24 rows equals 4”

Instructions  Doll’s Head and Body Create a simple wire frame with pipe cleaners for the body of the doll. This step is essential for  being able to pose the arms and legs. Be sure to wrap the wire around the neck several times to  ensure that it is really sturdy! The frame is easily adjusted while working the doll if the lengths do  not match. If the pipe cleaner is too short just twist another one on to the end to extend it and if it  is too long just bend it over inside of the doll or cut it off!  

  Take 2 pipe cleaners and twist them together. Repeat this step until you have 5. With one of the  twisted pipe cleaners, create the head and torso frame. Bend the pipe cleaner for the head at 4  1/2” long and create the head so that it is 1 1/2” tall. Twist the remaining pipe cleaner around the  neck several times.

  With the other four pieces, create the arms and legs. Fold the tip of the arm over slightly for the  hand and so the pipe cleaner doesn’t poke you! Leave the neck about 3/4” long. Make the arms 5  1/4” long and twist the excess around the torso. Repeat for the other arm. For the legs, fold the  end over about an inch for the foot. Make the legs 6” long and wrap the excess around the torso.  Repeat for the other leg.
