Product Description
Claire Garland has created a fantastical dream collection of five dolls and their playtime companions, plus accessories to complete the fantasy. The projects have been designed with both girls and boys in mind and include: a mermaid with her pet dolphin and fishy friends; a princess with her castle and bejewelled pony; a wild west hero and his faithful mustang; a fanciful flower fairy family with their magical unicorn; a "pirate of olde" and his scabby rat ride the seven seas in their galleon of olde. Each item is easy to knit, with added knit trims and embroidery - each a fairy tale in the making. All items are knitted or crocheted with stitched details, and full instructions on techniques are included throughout. This is a fabulously fun and original collection of dolls and toys to make for both boys and girls. You can just make the doll or even simply choose one of the accessories to make, such as cushions or soft toys.
