Have you ever knit a doll? I've knit a few teddy bears and dogs in my time, as well as created the Matryoshka Japonais doll set. But I haven't knit a proper doll, by which I mean one with arms and legs and outfits. This week I found five little charmers for you from some talented knitted toy designers.
- China Doll by Sara Elizabeth Kellner $4.50 USD
I love that she is constructed like an antique china doll.
Do NOT miss Sara's other patterns, including China Doll's outfit! - Homage to Jane Austen by Noreen Crone-Finlay $6.75 USD
How could I not include a Jane Austen doll? - Tulip Doll by Katie Boyette $6 USD
Katie's patterns are super-cute!
I'm still holding out hope that she will publish
her Henry VIII and Friends projects as patterns. - Marie Antoinette Knit Doll Pattern by Amy Gaines $6 USD
More cuteness! The hair makes me giggle.
Amy is prolific in the adorable toy category. - Theodóra by Hélène Magnússon €5 EUR
Don't miss the adorable Icelandic wardrobe and sheep dog!
All images from the patterns' Ravelry pages. No copyright infringement intended - I just want to share the love!
There were so many pages of cuteness that I really had to get specific on which dolls to share. I think we will need a mermaid doll post, soon.
I'm off to decide which doll I want to knit most (right now) and to enjoy a calm Mother's Day weekend. Hope you have a good one, whether you are mother, child, or both.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy knitting!
