Knit your own Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton dolls to celebrate possibly the most exciting US election ever.

Both dolls are around 9in tall.

Don’t forget you’ll need a few handfuls of polyester stuffing to complete your dolls.

The dolls are knitted in oddments of light worsted (DK) knitting yarn - though some single ply cream yarn is useful for Donald’s hair.

The total yardage required for each doll is less than 100yd and the pattern is flexible - for example, you can knit the clothing in a colour of your choice, depending on what you have.

Instructions are given for both US and UK knitters.
