Mamaoso's Comfort Dolls

[mamaoso]

I needed some mindless knitting so here is what I made for my Chairty group..

I'm kinda following this pattern. I'm using Magic Loop with sport weight yarn and provisional cast-on, stuffing thur the hat..

Anyhoo, here is my crew so far.

Hey I came across some of these dolls too but no pattern. Can you share the patterns?

Do charities like these dolls???? Just wondering....

Thanks for the comments.. Sorry I thought that I added the link to the pattern...You can make bigger dolls by the weight of yarn and the size needles / or smaller..

http://www.creativestitchonline.com/pattern.html Is kinda the pattern I'm using.. I got the number of cast-on from it and about how many rows per color to use.. But I kinda do it my own way. Add some rows here and decrease there. ya' know..

And did the provisional cast-on so the only seam I have is the gathering at the top of the hat.

The pattern calls for a straight needles and a seam up the back and bottom of feet/shoes..

They have a one for crochet, too. http://www.creativestitchonline.com/cpattern.html

Very cute. They look like something anyone would love to hug.

Oh thankyou for the pattern. I wish I had your talent for making it the way you want to. I am just a beginner knitter, I crochet much better.

Thank you for your kind comments.

I'm going to try a little bigger one. Go and clean out some of my stash of worsted weight yarn.
