Notes & Tips

● Doll and clothing are worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise noted. Place marker
at the beginning of each round.
● Clothing can be worked either separately or around the doll.
● Make secure, firm stitches. Follow the gauge for the correct size of doll if desired. Gauge is
not critical for this project.
● Stuff doll firmly along the way. As you work through small areas of the doll body it becomes
difficult to stuff further back into the doll so be sure to stuff every few rows while working
small areas! As you stuff be sure to stuff secure enough that there is not extra room but
not too tight that it stretches the stitches.
● While working the body of the doll you can hide the yarn tails in the body to save time
weaving in ends.
● When creating dolls it is all about the finishing work. Take your time in your finishing,
embroidery and sewing to get the best results!

Instructions
Doll’s Head and Body
Create a simple wire frame with pipe cleaners for the body of the doll. This step is essential for
being able to pose the arms and legs and for the head to be able to stand up on its own. Be sure to
wrap the wire around the neck several times to ensure that it is really sturdy! The frame is easily
adjusted while working the doll if the lengths do not match. If the pipe cleaner is too short just
twist another one on to the end to extend it and if it is too long just bend it over inside of the doll or
cut off the excess!
Begin by twisting 2 pipe cleaners together. Repeat until you have 5.
With one of the twisted pipe cleaners make the torso about 4” and the head about 1 ¾” in
diameter. Wrap the excess around the neck several times leaving about ½” for the neck. Next,
create the arms at about 4 ¾” long. Fold the tips of the arms over slightly for the hands and so
the pipe cleaner doesn’t poke you! Wrap the excess down the torso.


With the last 2 twisted pipe cleaners, create the legs. Fold the tips over about ¾” long for the
feet. Make the legs about 6” long and wrap the excess up the torso.
