Recreate the wonder of the circus in your living room with these acrobatic dolls.

Each doll is preforming some acrobatic moves on a wire ring; these rings are available from florists or craft stores, and are usually used to make flower garland displays. For safety reasons do not use wire rings if the doll is intended for babies or younger children.

This knitting pattern uses DK weight yarns and single pointed needles (work flat, not in the round).
