Winter Dawn is finished; an American Indian Free Spirit. She is shown here with her faithful familiar, Wings-that-Whisper, from the Roman Sock blog owlet pattern.
Winter's dress is a slight adaptation of the pattern shown here, which is a free pattern available at this link:

I used sport weight yarn and a size E hook, and eliminated one row on the yoke front and back. Plus, I flared the skirt more than the pattern called for by increasing 5sc every other row.
For her boots, I used a different free pattern, located at the same site, and except for using sportweight yarn and a size E hook I did not need to make any changes. This was the Indian Princess IV pattern.
She is sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the outfit! :) She is perfect!

I would love the pattern I can't get it
DeleteBeth,
ReplyDeleteThis doll is absolutely beautiful, as are all of your dolls. She has such a sweet little face, I just want to hug her! The clothes are just amazing, and as usual you did a beautiful job on her. I love it! Being of Indian (Cherokee) descent myself, I just really have to make one of these. Thanks so much for always providing us with beautiful inspiration and patterns for all of these lovely dolls.
Hugs,

Thank-you so much for the good words, Sonya. If you make a doll, I'd love to see her :-)

Hello!
ReplyDeleteThis doll looks amazing! I think she is my favourite of your free spirit dolls. She has a different feel than any of the other dolls you made.
I can't wait to make one myself though!

Where do I find your pattern for this doll?
ReplyDeleteThis doll is a Free Spirit doll, the pattern can be found on the left sidebar if you scroll down (she is near the bottom). I used a FibreCraft pattern for her Indian outfit.

Thanks I found the doll pattern but do you have the pattern for the dress in the colors and style you made?
ReplyDeleteI see the link for the dress but I would like to make it just like yours.
ReplyDeleteI have no other instructions but the ones that are in the link, and I no longer have this doll. I am sure using your own imagination and colors you love, you will make a doll that will be beautiful.
Deletewarmly,

I love it.. Where can I get patterns? Thanks
ReplyDeleteThe doll pattern is the 'Free Spirit' pattern freely available from me. Please email me at dollmaker46203@gmail.com for the doll pattern. The Native American pattern for her dress is a commercial pattern that is available at the link in the post.
