Mia's Doll
As a dedicated primary school teacher, I often find myself forming deep attachments to the children in my class. Each academic year brings the bittersweet moment of letting go as these precious little ones advance to their next grade. Thankfully, I still have the joy of watching them grow and flourish for several years until they transition to secondary school. However, this year, one of my beloved students embarked on a faraway adventure. In my desire to create a lasting memory for her, I designed this charming little doll as a heartfelt keepsake and a source of comfort as she begins this new chapter in her life.
Yarn Used
For this adorable doll, I utilized Wendy Merino DK yarn, which features a luxurious softness perfect for children. Each 50g ball contains 116m of 100% Merino wool, ensuring both comfort and durability for playtime. The delightful colors used in this project include:
- 50g Wendy Merino DK in Watermelon
- 50g Wendy Merino DK in Wind Chime
- 50g Wendy Merino DK in Seaspray
- 50g Wendy Merino DK in Funghi
Needles Used
To bring this whimsical doll to life, I used the following knitting needles:
- 3.5mm straight needles for crafting the main body
- 3.5mm double-pointed needles (DPNs) for shaping limbs and features
- A crochet hook for adding delightful strands of hair to complete the look
Other Supplies
In addition to the yarn and needles, you will need a few essential supplies to finish your doll:
- A tapestry needle for weaving in ends and assembling your doll
- Stuffing to give your doll a cuddly and huggable form
- Three small buttons for charming decorative embellishments
This delightful doll pattern not only serves as a beautiful keepsake but also helps foster creativity in knitting. Using quality materials and straightforward techniques, you can create a personalized treasure for any child in your life. Whether for a special occasion, as a comforting gift, or simply as a delightful project, this doll holds the promise of childhood memories and adventures.
