soft toy

good evening crafters

popping in with a new knitted soft toy that will be shortly heading her way to a new nursery

very soon to look after a new born baby.

i hope everyone is a safe and well in these exceptional times.

April knitted soft toy

my soft toy is knitted using natural fibres and bs polyester toy filling.

to complete my soft toy i have used a variety of yarns (most of which i have purchased on line from: theknitterattic and jamiesons of shetland)

April comes complete with a removeable dress, a cute ponytail with a beautiful bow in her hair to match the bow on her dress, her shoes, tights and jumper are fixed and cannot be removed.

the doll has been adapted from MJT doll pattern with alternative arms and legs.

the leg, body and head are all one piece which is a first for me and it took me a little trial and error to complete. my next doll will be a all in one doll (fingers crossed).

yarns used:

skin: Jamiesons spindrift

boots, tights, jumper and dress skirt: west yorkshire spinners 4ply

dress bodice: kidhaze silk

hair: jenny watson merino dk

features: dmc embroidary floss and a bees wax crayon.

join me again soon

stay safe, stay well and craft happy. Ann x
