Eighteen delightful knitted characters
Patons Book #298
In Double Knitting Yarns
Printed in 1989 in Aberdeen, Scotland
NOTES:
When you want to send ‘greetings’, say it with a doll!
Here is a colourful collection of eighteen easy-knit characters designed to appeal to children and adults alike.
There is a doll to suit almost any occasion. Birthday dolls, a Bride and Groom, New-born Baby, a doll for good luck, a Christmas Tree Fairy, a Hallowe’en Witch, a Get-Well-Soon Nurse, a Tooth Pixie and many more.
Each doll measures a bout 18cm [7in] from top to toe, excluding the hats and all are based on one simple design. The main portion [legs, body and head] is knitted in one piece and takes only 14 grams [½ ounce] of yarn oddments.
I have also devised a very easy method of knitting the hair, thus ensuring perfect results every time.
Happy knitting!
Jean
