The Purl Bee
Posted by Kate Sullivan

Purlbee I once made a fabric doll for my niece but my inadequate skill and flare for doll disproportions only scared the two year old to tears.

If only I had seen Mimi Kirchner's pattern for a hand sewn felt doll on The Purl Bee back then. Mimi, an expert in handmade dolls (see her blog Doll) has passed on a step-by-step tutorial to Purl Bee, which shows me exactly where I went wrong.

The Purl Bee, the blog that features alongside the New York fabric and yarn shop Purl Soho, has numerous links to free patterns and step-by-step guides to help inspire home crafters with crochet, knit and stitch.
