Three peas in a pod

THESE take only about an hour to complete! I used table leg socks (ready made) for the body. Stuff them really well so that they have nicely rounded bellies, and attach to the head. Stitch vertically up from the bottom of the belly, to form the two little legs. Add scarf which you can knit or crotchet in a jiffy. Or simply tie a bow.

These are about four inches in height. I am planning to make really small ones and give them away as danglies.

Here are some others which I have made earlier, and given away :)

Hello there!

Little Shan Shan, samfoo doll

This is the biggest doll I have made so far, almost 18 inches. I love making the shoes, crocheted with soft cotton yarn. The look was based on a description my friend gave -- her first doll that she bought with her own money when she was a kid.

Cheeky checks

Adding the lace at the hem makes a lot of difference, I think. And this is the first time I tried making a boy doll. The hair was easy -- I just crocheted a cap with yarn that has tufts of hairy bits and then sew it onto the head.

Sweet polka dots

This is another 18-inch doll I made. I believe she is extremely huggable. Trying to use up all the black wool from my last doll. I found that when I tried to trim the hair, the cut off bits tend to cling to the face. But it was okay as you could brush them off with a towel :) Or perhaps you can try the sticky tape! When I was a kid, tiny polka dotted materials were my favourite. I still like them today.
