I have to say that it was a bit of a struggle for me, but I did manage to make two dolls, and they turned out beautifully. Go for it!! If it drives you crazy, there are still a lot of wonderful dolls made by knitting flat...like Fiona's Little Sister doll :-)<br /><br />BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15174223079054928870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647790914647612650.post-75817858142058947982014-02-14T17:11:09.033-05:002014-02-14T17:11:09.033-05:00I agree beth thanks!!

The very first thing I knitted was one of Jean Greenhowe's free Rainbow Babies dolls. It was very simple. This free doll of Fiona's is also very simple; it is knit flat and then seamed up. I still like this method much better than knitting in the round.<br /><br />I spent one evening practicing stitches, makind increases and decreases until I felt familiar with this, then made my first doll. You can do this too!! And, its a heck of a lot more fun to make a doll than a scarf :-)<br /><br />BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15174223079054928870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647790914647612650.post-60612735217599735542014-02-14T09:33:43.351-05:002014-02-14T09:33:43.351-05:00As usual your dolls are amazing!!
