This
is a nice rainy day project !
Materials
Skeins of yarn
Book
To form a yarn doll's body,
loosely wrap yarn
around a book, about seventy
(70) times,
to create a thick hank. Slip
a 6-inch piece
of yarn between the hank and
the book and
use it to tie the strands together.
Slide the
hank off the book.
Create the doll's head by tightly tying
another piece of yarn around
the bundle
an inch from the top. Add eyes
and a
mouth by tying contrasting
yarn around
single strands on the face
and clipping
the ends close to the knot.
Next, cut
the loop at the bottom of the
hank.
1. For arms, pull one quarter
of the
strands to each side and tie
them at the
wrists, as shown. (Picture
above)
Trim the yarn 1/2 inch below
the wrists.
Then, tie a strand of yarn
around the
doll's waist, leaving the yarn
loose
to resemble a skirt. Or, make
pants
by dividing the into two (2)
bunches
and tying them at the ankles.
2. For the wig, wind another
hank of yarn.
Tie together one end and snip
the other.
Feed a piece of yarn through
the doll's
head and use it to tie
on the wig.
Then, you can cut bangs, make
ponytails
or add a hair ribbon.
