Welcome White Friday! To celebrate a new tradition, here is a simple knit doll, about nine to ten inches tall, and her simple knit wardrobe. With some very easy needle sculpting, she looks very much like a small Waldorf doll. Here are the patterns:
Knit doll pattern
Knit camisole and underwear
Simple knit dress
Simple knit sweater
Simple knit pullover sweater
Simple knit pants
There is also a picture tutorial to help you make the doll, here at Knit Doll Tutorial. All of these patterns and the tutorial can also be found on the left sidebar of the blog, under Knit Waldorf Style Doll Patterns.
These are the first knitting instructions I've put together, so if you have problems with understanding them, let me know and we'll figure out what it is I'm trying to convey :-)
What a pleasant way to spend the Friday after Thanksgiving; a gentle alternative to waiting in line for the latest toy or gizmo, that most likely will be forgotten in the crush of so many gifts. I can't help but think that a single gift, made with love and given with joy, trumps store bought any day :-) And think of the pleasure you will have in the making and creating.
I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving, and enjoy the coming Holy Day season. You should enjoy every gift you give :-)
