THIS SWEET doll, designed by Amanda Berry, is knitted in Hayfield’s Bonus DK yarn, and she comes with knitted clothing including a hat, legwarmers, a skirt and shoes; the hair is made from Bonus Super Chunky yarn. The doll is embellished with wooden beads, button eyes, bows on the shoes and a bamboo wand - if you are intending to give this doll to a small child, we advise omitting these embellishments, and embroidering the eyes instead.
