Dolls On Double-Points


© Esmerelda Jones

These wonderful dolls are knitted on double point needles at a firm gauge to give the doll a pleasant, thick feel. Choose from redhead, blond or blackhaired, each with their own outfits, and can be made standing or with a sit down gusset. Hair is knitted separately in fur stitch. What fun to make them in all colors from porcelain blue to camel.
