This Thistle Doll knitting pattern is a charming Scottish-inspired folk art design, created for knitters who love slow makes, natural textures, and characterful handmade dolls. Inspired by Scotland’s national flower, this little thistle-topped companion features a soft knitted body, leafy dress, cosy boots, and a textured thistle crown hat, finished with simple accessories to bring the character to life.

The pattern is written clearly in English knitting terms and is suitable for confident beginners to intermediate knitters who are comfortable with basic shaping, seaming, and simple texture work. The doll is worked mostly flat on straight needles and assembled afterwards, making it a relaxing and satisfying project with a beautiful finished result.

This is a digital PDF knitting pattern only. You will receive a downloadable file containing full written instructions, stitch counts, and guidance for assembling your Thistle Doll. Once completed, the doll makes a lovely decorative piece, gift, or keepsake, perfect for lovers of Scottish folklore, cottagecore aesthetics, and handmade heirloom toys.
