This pattern would suit a Beginner.

This pattern can be bought as a PDF Digital Download from - Etsy, Love Knitting, Makerist, & Ravelry.

This is the Ghost of Christmas Past from A Christmas Carol. It was written by Charles Dickens and published on the 19th December 1843.

I have tried to design the doll with the text in mind, but still making it a simple doll to knit:

'It wore a tunic of the purest white...'

The main body is made up of white, including the additional coat and arms.

'...its dress trimmed with summer flowers.'

I have included light yellow and green on the main body, coat and arms to indicate flowers.

'...the crown of its head there sprung a bright clear jet of light...'

In the book the hair is white, but I have kept the hair a vibrant yellow to represent light.

A belt and extinguisher cap are also mentioned, which I have included in the design.

Finished 16th November 2016

Edith Grace Designs: Knitting and stitching is my passion. I love the texture of wool, I enjoy the repetitiveness of knitting and I love creating dolls from a variety of inspiration. I have combined my interest of historical and national costume into my doll designs. My dolls are based on Grodnertal/ Dutch Wooden Dolls. My needlework designs are based on art, my biggest influence is Folk Art/ Naïve Art. I take my inspiration from history, costume, personal experience, nature and art. My work is completely original and my designs are simple to make. All my knitting patterns are worked flat, with two needles, but they are easy enough to knit on the round. I hope you enjoy looking at my patterns, as much as I enjoy designing them. Jo x
