Russian Dolls

I've just had great fun making these lovely crocheted Russian Dolls. 

They took a few days to make because of all the embroidery detail but they were a great way to use up oddments of yarn.

The pattern is by Nicki Trench and is in the magazine Woman's Weekly Knitting and Crochet Special April/May 2011.  The pattern also features in Nicki Trench's book Cute and Easy Crochet. 

We've named the dolls Ada, Lily, Sally and Nancy.  A very colourful and jolly addition to our household.

  2. Hi Ronda,
    No these weren't hard to make. The basic shape for each doll is very easy. The face is just a crocheted disc that is sewn onto the head. The embroidery is only simple stitches and gives the dolls their extra special look.
