Rosie rag doll

Bring some handmade charm to your children’s toybox with our adorable amigurumi doll. This is such a fun project to add your own personal touches to – change the colour of Rosie’s dress, or get creative with her hair to make her look more like the recipient. We’ve plaited three double strands of yarn for a neat braided look, but you could also make a single braid, keep it loose, or separate the strands to achieve cute curls!
