Jean Greenhowe's Storybook Dolls - Eight Delightful Knitted Characters
Jean Greenhowe's Storybook Dolls - Eight Delightful Knitted Characters. If you enjoy knitting for charity, it can be quite a problem finding things to make which are quick, easy, inexpensive and yet attractive enough to sell like hot cakes! The designs in this booklet are a pleasure to knit and excellent fund-raisers, as they require only small oddments of double-knitting yarn and take very little time to complete.
Here is a colorful collection of eight storybook dolls, all irresistibly chubby and measuring 31cm (12-1/4 inch) in height. Choose from Robin Hood and Maid Marion, a fairy tale Prince and Princess or those ever popular favorites, a Cowboy and Pirate. Also included are a Christmas Tree Fairy and Tooth Fairy, both with knitted wings! The dolls are suitable for young children, but with the addition of cardboard soles, they also make delightful ornaments for older children and adults.
Jean says: The figurines and other items shown in this booklet have been specifically designed as decorative mascots or ornaments for older children and adults. Once knitted, they have many components which are not meant to withstand rough handling. They are therefore unsuitable for babies and very young children.
