Learn to create a poseable doll of Coraline along with her outfit.

THE PATTERN is eight pages long, written in English and includes:
• Row numbers for each step so you can tick off each row and keep your place
• Instructions for making the doll and her outfit: Dress/Raincoat/Boots/Bag
• Photos for clarification
• A list of materials, abbreviations and techniques.

TECHNIQUES:
For the doll, the body is knitted flat, the limbs are knitted using the i-cord method. You will need to cast on and off, knit, purl, work increases and decreases, and sew seams using the mattress stitch. This pattern uses short rows for shaping (turning mid-way through the line) and this is fully explained with photos to guide you. You will also learn how to insert wire to make her poseable.

Photo instructions are provided for embroidering the facial details and creating the hair.

WHAT YOU NEED
• 2 double-pointed 2.5 mm knitting needles
• Tapestry needle & Scissors
• 4ply Fingering/Sports wool – Beige/Blue/Yellow/Light Orange/Dark Orange/Maroon/Grey
• Wool or embroidery thread for the facial features – White/Brown/Pink. Or scraps of felt & fabric glue
• 1 small yellow button for the raincoat
• 1 small orange button for the dress
• 1 bead for the bag enclosure
• Soft washable stuffing – I use the end of a 4mm crochet needle to aid with pushing and moulding the stuffing
• 4 metal, plastic coated twist ties (the dimensions of the ones I use are 150mmx2.2mm). The most important thing here is to ensure that you have good quality wire that is flexible, easy to pose and will endure. The plastic coating will not only ensure safety, but will be very helpful when it comes to inserting the wire into the limbs.

FINISHED SIZE: depending on your knitting tension, the doll will measure roughly 19cm / 7.5’’ in height
