Finnish National Costume

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 construction is minimum. 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.
