Daisy doll

Lucinda Ganderton’s darling dolly is addicted to shopping, and we’re addicted to her! Isn’t she lovely? We absolutely adore her mop of lilac hair, which is made up of eight strips of curls that you sew on in order. It’s best to pin them in place before you stitch them down to make sure they’re evenly spaced and as cute as can be.

Happy crocheting!

We used... DK yarn: red, white, taupe, blue, lilac, yellow, pink 3.5mm crochet hook Two 8mm safety eyes Tapestry needle Toy stuffing Blusher or pink crayon (optional) SIZE: Height: 24cm
