Topsy Turvy Red Riding hood/Grandma Doll

[Shebop]

Ladies, I've had this pattern on my "to do list" for quite awhile now but just finally took the plunge.

The pattern was easy to follow and I had a lot of fun making it! I used a bigger hook than was called for (a G I think) because I didn't think it was worth the effort for such a tiny little doll.

Anyway, kudos to the designer!!

Oh! I've seen other versions of these, too. I just remembered a sewn fabric story doll that told Red Riding Hood. Red had layers of aprons on, and each time an apron was flipped up, the underside of the apron reveal the head of the next character.

 

What a cool idea! You did a great job. Is it going to a child?

Thanks Joy, yes, this one is going to my niece. She's 2 and I hope she enjoys it. I'm going to make one for my daughter too, but she's only 8 months so no rush.

Your doll sounds neat too!

I got a pattern for a doll similar to this(a topsy turvy, but not RR Hood) from Annies Attic sometime back. You've inspired me to dig it out and give it a whirl!!

Cute Doll!

That is cute. I have seen that pattern and have it on my to do list also.

Oh I love it. I recently printed up this pattern to try for DGD but thougth it was much too small.

Now that I see it done with a bigger hook I definately will make one for her Christmas stocking!! thank you so much!

I have a knitted dorothy/cowardly lion pattern I've been trying to get up my nerve to make. Where is your pattern from?

[Shebop]

Yaviiniia,

 

The pattern I used is from this site:

I would be so interested in your cowardly lion/Dorothy pattern, could you share where you found it?

 

Thanks so much!

Wow! it turned out great. I've also had this on my "To-do list" for probably at least 4 years. lol Maybe I'll be inspired now to make one of my own!

I had a doll like that!! Depending on which way the bonnet was you had the old lady, red or upside down the wolf. (I think... it's been a 'few' years now....)

 

Yours looks GREAT!!! I'm sure she'll (they'll?) be loved!

I have seen knitted ones before, what a great job you did on this!
