yarn dolls

Finished Yarn Dolls. I try to make each doll different. Some may have long arms and legs some may have short it all depends on the doll.

 I made ruffles on the front of this one not sure I like it. Colors are purple and dark pink. She also has a angel necklace on her. I hated her dress so I redid her entire outfit with the same colors and added wings.

The blue one is traditional with a purse. 


This one I have the outfit done and the hat has a heart and bunny ears on it. The dress is traditional.
Sorry I will not give out the pattern due to this yarn doll being vintage and being one of a kind.
Made this angel doll for Carrie Parker


Here is the fixed purple one

I gave this one also to Carrie Parker
