Henry VIII was an English Tudor King. He was born at Greenwich Palace, London on the 28th June 1491. He was the second son of Henry VII. When Henry's older brother Arthur died, Henry became king in 1509.
Henry had six wives:
Catherine of Aragon - Spanish - Divorced
Anne Boleyn - English - Beheaded
Jane Seymore - English - Died
Anne Cleeves - Flemish-Belgian - Divorced
Catherine Howard - English - Beheaded
Catherine Parr - English - Outlived Henry
Henry died, aged 55 years old, on 28th January 1547 at St. James's Palace, London.
My doll is only 13cms tall. His legs are worked in cream for the stockings. He wears an ivory jerkin, with a flared skirt knitted separately.
The Surcoat is a rich red colour, with lines of mustard knitted into the design to represent the gold detail in the portrait of Henry VIII.
The hat has a picot stitch used for the brim, with a garter stitch to represent the white feathers in the portrait.
This is a really quick and easy doll to knit.
I have based my design on the below picture:
