Half Doll Beth

I have included this doll Beth and skirt from a previous post as I wanted to show you the difference in using the same pattern,but how to achieve a differnet look.This can be done by using either a contrasting cotton to the bead,or a cotton that is close in color to the bead.This is the same pattern,as I have done for my doll Rebecca,but the look is totally differnet.So even if you are starting out and have only a couple of patterns to choose from,you can change the whole look,by swapping cottons and beads.

Pattern uses 1 x hanks of beads

1 x ball of perle 8 cotton.

TIP

If using the same pattern, to knit another skirt,consider using a contrasting cotton to your bead for a whole differnet look.

Half Doll Rebecca

 

This lovely doll is called Rebecca,and much to my horror I acutally broke her head off,when she slipped from my hand to a cement step,I was lucky, it was a very clean break and my husband who is a 

Woodcraftsman,and always has his hand near to some 5 minute Araldite glue,managed to revive 

her,she came through the experience,with very little evidence,to show for her ordeal.

The waist band was accomplished using the Cast off over 4 rows method which is in the tutorial section.

Pattern uses 1 x hanks of beads.

1 x ball of perle 8 cotton.

Tip

If your skirt pattern has a knitted pattern through it,consider using a contrast cotton to the bead,that way your pattern will stand out.
