About this product

Product Information

Create wonderful knitted dolls with a fantastic range of knitted clothes and accessories, including coats, sweaters, mini skirts, dresses, tops, bikinis, swimsuits, scarves, hats and bags. There are nine dolls to choose from, each with her own distinctive style and personality, and with a wardrobe to match. They include sports-mad Samantha, Willow the sophisticated Celtic beauty, water-loving Rose and party-girl Poppy, to name just four, though all the dolls can easily be adapted to create characters of your own. The clothes are all interchangeable, so each doll can have as many outfits as she wants, and all of the items can be made using different colours and yarns to create an even more extensive wardrobe. There are easy-to-follow instructions for making the bodies, faces and hair, including handy templates for eyes, mouths and eyebrows, and the simple patterns mean that knitters of all abilities can enjoy making these dolls. Ideal for using up scraps and oddments of yarn, buttons and trims, these dolls will delight and inspire older children as well as adults.

  • A real knitting treat lies in store

    Delightfully creative 'babes' to knit bursting with originality. Wonderful clothes and accessories which can be knitted as they are or can be adapted to make sure each 'babe' is a real individual. Love Fiona McDonald's knitted figures. Look out for her other books.

  • Loved it

    Wanted to knit my family, but other patterns seemed very old fashioned. These dolls are quite large, but great fun, and my daughter loved her 'mini me' I knitted for her 30th birthday! The clothes and features can be adapted to suit most people, and the hair (although time consuming) makes for a great feature. Pattern uses basic knitting stitches, the hardest bit was stuffing it. I embroidered the eyes on as I'm not very good at painting, but either would be good. Definately recommend.
