“Emma and Lizzie Thread Doll Pattern”

by Sue Pendleton of Bluebeary Treasures

For some time now I've been working on updating my rag doll patterns. The new design uses one size hook for both the doll and the clothing, and there is now a matching set of girl and boy dolls, each with their own tiny doll. 

This pattern contains instructions to crochet a little girl rag doll, about 7.5 inches tall, and her dolly friend, who is about 1.75 inches tall. For Emma you will use size 10 crochet thread in the colors shown (or colors of your choice), and a size 7 crochet hook. For Liz zie, you will use size 30 crochet thread, and a size 12 crochet hook. You can vary the size of the dolls by using alternate sizes of thread and hooks.

The pattern includes instructions for the doll, dress, pinafore, hair bow, bloomers, and the tiny doll, whose clothes are part of the design and not removeable. It also tells you how to create the crocheted hair for both dolls. The patterns are clearly written, with a great deal of detail. Several color photos are included.
