A quick post

Someone asked how much yarn it takes to make one of the Free Spirit dolls, both the original 12 inch doll and the seven inch Mini.

I can get at least two of the larger dolls out of a 3 oz skein of worsted weight yarn, and three mini's out of the same.

Hope this information is helpful, and enjoy the crochet :-)

  2. Hi Diane,

    When I look at my green Nature Spirit, I actually think it looks more like a boy, and he has the almond shaped eyes. I think I would leave off the eyelashes, and use a less pink color for lips...maybe a rosy brown shade instead. Short hair also helps :-)

    I'm looking forward to seeing your creations!

    Beth
