Finland National Costume Peg Doll Knitting Pattern by Edith Grace Designs
The doll is 12cm tall, knitted in double knitting wool & worked flat.
This pattern can be bought as a PDF Digital Download from - Etsy, Love Crafts & Ravelry.
This is a knitted dress, arms & bonnet for a 12cm peg doll. The design is based on a Finnish National Costume, which comes complete with a bonnet.
The dress is knitted all in one, so the construction is minimal. Toy stuffing is not used. I have used fine liner pens to decorate the face & hair.
I have found knitting clothes for a peg doll much easier than trying to use fabric & glue, plus the pattern can be knitted really quickly. I always found fabric & glue very frustrating as a child.
Customers have told me that when they travel, they like to knit a peg doll with the national dress, so the little doll can travel with them.
The pattern is simple to follow & photos are included to help with construction.
