Kokeshi Doll By Pukado
Supplies
Yarn
You can use any yarn you would like, The chunkier the yarn, the bigger the doll will be.
For the doll in this pattern I will use Phildar Coton 3 in 4 colors
Dress - Piscine
- Rosee
- Phildar Sunset Silver
(You can use another contrasting color instead of the silver, just make sure it’s the same weight as your coton)
Face and Hands - Perle
Hair - Noir
Hook size 2.5mm
Scissors
Yarn needle
Stitch Markers
I have made another set as well with Drops Viscose. This will give you a nice soft and shiny dress. I used the same hook size. See image on last page.
This pattern is worked in rows. I use my Invisible Seam Technique to join the rows where I can, otherwise I will CH1 or CH2 to start a row and SLST to the first ST again to close the row . But you can use any way of joining you prefer.
