Taking a break from the giant wedding afghan to do a little commissioned doll. I am learning a lot about kids’ TV making this stuff…

Finished! I used the head pattern from a Woman’s Weekly pattern for Hello Kitty, but made it a little shorter (not quite short enough). The body is kind of a cone shape which I stupidly carried on knitting from the head piece before realising I then had to make a much more complicated hood piece to fit around the neck. If I’d knitted them separately it would have been much easier (headdesk).

I have never made eyes like this before so I hope they stay attached- I embroidered the detail onto white felt circles and blanket stitched around them.

The little flower on her ear is crocheted.

Oh and I ran out of the pink yarn I was using and had to use a totally different chunkier yarn for the feet. oops.
