I love Jean Greenhowe patterns. All the patterns are easy to follow and fun to make.
The idea is to make the dolls colourful and the little bags are a fun touch.
This time I did not make the little bags, no particular reason I just wanted to move onto other things.
I wanted to make them with different skin tones to add variety. They are quick to make and don't take a lot of toy filling. This time I used safety eyes as sometimes sewn eyes can be picked at by little fingers and pull out.
I marked the 10th row and added the eyes after a few more knitted rows. I also sewed the mouth and nose in place before I stuffed the doll.
The sewn buttons on the doll was done using a long sewing needle for toy making. these were added after I stuffed the doll. I took the yarn into the neck and fastened it off securely.
The scarf is sewn in place so it can't be lost and a little one will not choke on it.
These are fun to make and can be made will bright colours or if you want softer colours.
