Tilda Doll Susan
Susan is always happiest when she’s out and about, and today she’s heading for a gentle walk in the park. She’s wrapped up in her new mint green, hip-length coat and soft brown leggings—practical and stylish for any weather.
With a bit of wind in the air, Susan pops on her cozy ear muffs and keeps her warm gloves safely strung around her neck, so there’s no chance of losing them along the way!
Tilda Doll Susan is knitted flat, worked from the head down, with stitches divided to create the legs. Her arms are made separately and sewn on for that classic handmade touch.
Susan’s clothes and accessories are all sewn onto the doll, so everything stays tidy and in place.
A helpful photo tutorial is included to guide you through adding Tilda-style hair, so you can give her plenty of personality and flair.
This pattern is ideal for confident beginners—
Both the doll and her clothes are knitted flat with simple shaping, and there’s a clear explanation of the SSK stitch if it’s new to you.
Tilda Susan makes a lovely decorative item or a sweet toy for children. If you’re making Susan as a gift for a little one, please use French knots instead of buttons on the coat for added safety.
