Clara Doll

It's Christmas Eve, and Clara eagerly awaits the start of the enchanting Stahlbaum Christmas party. Dressed in her prettiest festive attire, she dances around the beautifully decorated Christmas tree, hanging twinkling ornaments as she gracefully pirouettes. Clara's heart swells with joy at the thought of her beloved Godfather, the talented magician and toymaker Drosselmeyer, making his grand entrance. Little does she know, a magical journey is about to unfold right at her feet—an adventure filled with wonder and delight!

This delightful knitting pattern for the Clara doll is knit 'in the round,' making it a speedy and seamless project that results in a charming gift for any aspiring ballerina. The pattern features detailed instructions and a wealth of helpful photos to guide you through the assembly process, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience.

Clara's exquisite dress is adorned with sparkling beads at the waistband, adding a touch of glamour, while the skirt is worked separately for a professional finish. Once the doll is fully knitted, the skirt is sewn in place, completing this adorable design that captures the essence of ballet and holiday magic.

As part of a delightful collection, Clara is not alone in her ballet adventure.
