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.

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.
