Florence

 

A knitted doll wearing a green cabled sweater and a variegated teals and greens skirt. She has cream socks and brown shoes, and black hair.

Pattern: Bridget & Paddy Knitted Friends by Carol A. Anderson of Cottage Creations

Finished: April 2004

Made for: Síle aka me

Needle size: 4.5mm/ US 7

Notes: This is the 1st doll I knit. She’s named after my maternal grandmother, Florence Kathryn O’Shaughnessy Davis, as she sort of resembles her. Being a lively lass, she lost her tam (which had matched her skirt) while tending my flock of sheep. My one regret is my choice of skin color; poor thing looks sun-burnt!
