Dala Dolls
See my Dala Dolls come to life in a fun animated GIF!
My Dala Dolls are inspired by colorful, Dala Horses. In Sweden Dala horses have been handmade for hundreds of years. During the long winters, the men would carve the wooden horses for their children and the women would paint them. When I make handmade toys for my friends and family, I love thinking about the people in the past who have done the same.

The pattern is written very well with a lot of detailed step-by-step descriptions, helpful pictures and videos. I plan to make peg dolls with other of Tasha’s patterns. (Omissi)
