When Mary Met Elfin

When Mary Met Elfin, I took some photos. 

Mary and Elfin demonstrate how the same pattern worked with different weight yarns ends up making two totally unique dolls.

For the crocheters out there who might like to make similar looking dolls, check out Mary's Introduction here and Elfin's here.

Introducing Elfin

I made yet another doll. This time using chunky yarn from my stash. Chunky yarn makes for a bigger, sturdier doll. Our granddaughter took one look and immediately named her Elfin. 

I wondered if Elfin really suited this doll. Just to be sure, I looked it up. "Meaning of Elfin: Name Elfin in the Anglo Saxon origin, means One who is the ruler of the Elves. Name Elfin is of Anglo Saxon origin and is a Girl name." 

"Elfin" it is then and perfectly suitable too.

Introducing Elfin with the pretty purple hair modeling her yellow sundress with silver grey detailing and matching pantaloons. 

For the crocheters out there who might like to make a similar looking doll, Elfin was made following a Simply Amis crochet doll pattern designed by blogger Beth at By Hook, By Hand. 

I followed the pattern for Ami Mignonette using chunky beige yarn from my stash instead of worsted weight as suggested.

I followed patterns for dresses and pantaloons at By Hook, By Hand to make Elfin's dress and pantaloons.

Introducing Mary

Introducing Mary another crocheted doll made by me and named by our granddaughter. I think 'Mary' suits her perfectly.

Mary posed for photos modeling her blue romper dress and pretty nightie. Notice the special button detail on the back of each outfit.

Sending smiles today with photos of Mary by meo my crochet.

I followed the pattern for Ami Violette which is a little taller and a little slimmer than the Ami Mignonette pattern I used to make PP. If you missed it, you can read more about PP here.

I loosely followed patterns for dresses and pantaloons at By Hook, By Hand to make Mary's romper dress and nightie.

Crochet dolls are fun to make. Watch for more coming soon.
