BTW, whoever said it, it might not show in the pic, but the eyes do stand out very well. I wouldn’t dare mess with Jean G’s instructions anyway - it’d be asking for a mess!
It’s Knit for Peace, @MaggieMaybe, someone kindly gave the link recently. Comes up easily courtesy of Mr Google. The site was asking for ‘black and brown faced dolls’ just very recently.
Separate legs, then! I said it was Sod’s Law, didn’t I? A free pattern to download, and I’d sent off for a whole booklet! Never mind. I’ll send the others anyway and hope they find a home.
I think if they are for tiny people more eye defining would be good too... can you put the whites of the eyes in without making them all look startled?
A helpful Gner gave a link the other day to a charity that was asking (among other things) for black and brown faced dolls, I thought I could use some of my multicoloured stash to make some ‘rainbow’ babies. I eventually located a not too fiddly pattern in a Jean Greenhowe booklet, and sent for it.
One and a half babies later, I was idly browsing the JG website for nothing in particular when I clicked on ‘free patterns’, and guess what? Found one for Rainbow Babies! About the same size and not too much different, except that the legs are separate and there’s a hat instead of ‘hair’.
Now dithering as to whether to make more of one or the other.... Would separate legs go down better, O wise crafty Gransnetters? Here are my first 2, second pic is the alternative. I would make either in rainbow colours though.,
