Nativity Scene Dolls Knitting Pattern
This is a revised pattern that I first designed in 2014. It has been adapted & redesigned with beginner knitters in mind. It is wonderful that many people are taking up knitting, but finding simple toy knitting patterns can be difficult. 

The set includes Mary, Joseph, Angel Gabriel & Baby Jesus in a Manger. The dolls are 16cm tall & the manger is 8cm x 5cm.

Medieval Monk Doll
Medieval monks lived in monasteries and followed a strict, disciplined routine. Those who chose the monastic life had to renounce their worldly goods & way of life to spend their daily lives worshipping, reading & performing manual labour. 

Jobs included: 
- Washing & cooking for the monastery
- Farming & growing food
- Making wine, ale & honey
- Providing medical care for the wider community 
- Educating boys & novices
- Copying manuscripts
- Welcoming & providing hospitality to pilgrims

Since a teenager, I have been an avid fan of the Brother Cadfael books by the author Ellis Peters, so designing a monk has been on my list for quite a while. This doll is 14cm tall, knitted in double knitting wool & worked flat. There are many different monk outfits, but I have decided to leave off the hood on this design to show the classic medieval monk hairstyle. The pattern is easy, and suitable for beginners.

Guy Fawkes Doll Knitting Pattern - 2024

 


Guy Fawkes Doll Knitting Pattern by Edith Grace Designs

The doll is 16cm tall, knitted in double knitting wool & worked flat. 



Gut Fawkes Doll 
On the 5th of November in 1605, Guy Fawkes & his fellow Catholic plotters attempted 'The Gunpowder Plot'. This involved blowing up the Houses of Parliament & assassinating King James I of England. The men were caught in the act and were subsequently imprisoned in the Tower of London. 

Every 5th of November, we hold parties with fireworks & bonfires because of the failed plot. Until 1959, it was illegal to not celebrate 'Bonfire Night' in Britain.  

This doll is only 16cm tall & very easy to knit. It would be perfect for a bonfire night party or as a gift for a history lover.
