Mary Melody

Walking through the forest, you hear a sound that takes your breath away. You cant quite pin-point what the sound it. It is a faint sound, blowing in the wind.

All the fairies know where the sound is coming from!

Who would have guessed such a sweet song could come from such a tiny fairy!

Measuring just 4 ½ inches from head to toe, Mary is the smallest of the fairy cousins. She has been blessed with the gift of song. Even at this tender age, her voice will calm and soothe you. She brings harmony into the forest.

Tiny amount of purchased doll hair. (optional)

Melon colored sports weigh yarn (RH baby) for main color

Yellow sports weight yarn for contrast color

/ Here she is. I think i messed her hat up because it doesn't look like yours . Thanks for clarifying about the last row on the hat . I had no problems with the pattern. Except i think maybe i messed up the hat. I'll have to give it a go again and see where i went wrong.. I have to get some ribbon and a snap.. coulda swore i had some.I ordered some eyes so kinda waiting on those to add her eyes. My daughter has already claimed her. So the hair will have to wait too . She grabbed her and took off . I only got her back long enough for a pic and she was gone again lol. Thanks so much for letting me test! She is well loved by my daughter although i had to take the pipe cleaners out cause they were poking through . I'll have to make another to go with my porcelain dolls . I don't have many yet but, i have a few she would fit right in with.

She was fun to make. The diaper was a little big, but the ruffles in the back look cute. Thanks Kristen!!!

 

 

[KristieMN]

Mary is turning out great...thank you both for testing!

 

I think I am going to rework the diaper... it seems a bit big on some.

I will work on that today.

[tiggerhale]

I'll be working on this today - I'm having trouble deciding what colors to use for her dress (esp since I got that yarn shipment from Amazon last week!).

 

Mikki & Benee16, yours are sooo cute!

[minky996]

Here is My Mary. I can not decide where I want to to look, so For the moment she has no facial features.

I've finally finished. It was a very easy pattern but I had to redo the doll because she came out too small with the suggested hook size. I went up to an I hook but used the suggested size for the clothes. My camera and the lighting were fighting with me so please forgive the picture quality.
