You can give these charming dolls as gifts, hang them on your tree, use them to decorate a package, or let them inhabit the holiday village on your mantel.
This design starts with a basic yarn doll, and then adds lots of embellishments.
Were offering a free downloadable sheet of clothing patterns to dress up your dolls!

Cut another medium-long piece of yarn, and tie it tightly around the body, right under the arms, to make the doll’s waist.


 To make legs, divide the yarn into two halves and tie around each one.

Cut all the remaining loops at the bottom of the doll. If you want your doll to have legs, then split the stands of yarn into two halves. Tie each one tightly at the bottom to form the doll’s ankles. Then, clip the loops at the doll's hands, and trim the hands and feet to a nice pom-pom shape.

If you want your doll to wear a skirt, then simply trim all the strands of yarn at the bottom of the doll to the same length.


 Download the face pattern. Pin it to some felt and cut it out.

Add a Face and Hair
Download the pattern sheet and cut out the pattern for the face. Pin this to some felt of your choice and cut it out. (Be sure to cut the two slits in the top, too.)


 Glue the edges of the felt to the head.
