Tips 
● Doll is worked in continuous rounds. Place marker at the beginning of each round.  
● Make secure, firm stitches. 
● Stuff doll firmly along the way. As you work through small areas of the doll body it becomes 
difficult to stuff further back into the doll so be sure to stuff every few rows while working 
small areas! 
● Clothing can be worked around the doll or separately if preferred. All clothing articles are 
removable.

Instructions
Doll’s Head and Body
Create a simple wire frame with pipe cleaners for the body of the doll. This step is essential for
being able to pose the arms and legs and for the head to be able to stand up on its own. Be
sure to wrap the wire around the neck several times to ensure that it is really sturdy! The frame
is easily adjusted while working the doll if the lengths do not match. If the pipe cleaner is too
short just twist another one on to the end to extend it and if it is too long just bend it over inside
of the doll!

Begin by twisting 2 pipe cleaners together. Repeat until you have 4.

With a new pipe cleaner make the torso about 4” and the head about 2 ¼” in diameter. Wrap the
excess around the neck several times. With the twisted pipe cleaners made in the first step,
create the arms at about 4 ¾” long. Fold the tips of the arms over slightly for the hands and so
the pipe cleaner doesn’t poke you! Wrap the excess down the torso.

With the last 2 twisted pipe cleaners, create the legs. Fold the tips over about ¾” long for the
feet. Make the legs about 6” long and wrap the excess up the torso.
