Tulah modeling her many wigs
I love dolls; all kinds of dolls. My favorites are those of cloth and crochet, but there are some 'store bought' dolls that I cannot resist. Small BJD's, and the lovely dolls of Helen Kish, fall into this irresistible category.
So when a dear friend of mine (hi Tomi!) became seriously smitten by Helen Kish's small Riley, it reignited my interest in my own little Riley and Tulah, her friend. But how to add a personal touch to a doll made by other hands in a far country?
How about a hand made crochet wig? So, here is a pattern for making your own wig for a very small doll. Riley and Tulah have a head circumference of 4 1/4 inches. The wigs are made of laceweight Mohair yarn, which works up to a gauge similar to size 10 crochet cotton. This wig pattern can be adapted to other small dolls, particularly small Lati's (White and Yellow) and Fairyland dolls (Puki Puki and Puki Fee).
And, I think Riley and Tulah are in for some crochet finery. You know the drill, camisoles, pantaloons, dresses, sunsuits. Should be fun!
Tulah says, 'enjoy the crochet!'
