Little People Doll

[Sue89]

I've been wanting to make this Little People pattern (http://www.lewiscraft.ca/project01p.php?innum=401), so last night I made the girl. I was hoping to be able to make a dozen of them for a charity my sister's involved with. However, I think I'm going to have to come up with another idea because those little stitches are wreaking havoc on my eyes. I think I gave myself eye strain last night. If anyone else is planning to try this pattern, there are several mistakes in it. A round will be left out, there are typos, etc. You can figure it out anyway, but you just have to be careful.

Cuuute! I really like the hair! :D

[Sue89]

Thanks. I think I put too much hair on her head to make those little braids, so I just left it loose. You can't tell, but her hair is actually burgundy, or "claret" as Red Heart calls it.

Just make it with a bigger hook/yarn. It's not like you're gonna be wearing it. ;) It is neat; I might make some of those for my girls. Thanks for the pattern link!

OMG! i soo have to make my babe a set! she loves to get into mommy's yarn, and what a perfect way to give her some yarn of her own!

[Sue89]

Thanks, everyone. :)

Diamond, she's about 6 1/2 inches from head to toe.

I think the original pattern calls for a sportweight yarn, but from what I understand that particular brand is discontinued. I just used regular worsted weight, but since I tend to make tight stitches it didn't affect the finished size.

You should stick a few straight pins in her so she'll appeal to the masses....:devil


I'm kidding....but that is so realistic.....very good job! :hook

[Sabra]

Oh wow, you used an E hook with worsted weight yarn? You're braver than I by far! (Did it once for a scuplture, wound up whimpering in pain & swearing never again.)
