Knitting Doll 2024 Part 2

Knitting Doll 2024 Part 2

This is going to be a difficult Blog to write as it is done from the perspective of looking at the Top of the Doll. Try and bear with me. I seriously advise looking at each individual Photograph.

Round Hoop 1

This is the easy bit. First make sure that the Yarn is still out the Bottom of the Doll. It must never be allowed to rise back through so it is advisable to hold it.

Make sure the Dolls Face is towards you. This helps to save getting lost further on. Next take the Yarn from the Top. Wind the Yarn from Left to Right

Round Hoop 2

In order to make life easier for myself I am turning the Doll. The Face now is to my Right. Wind the Yarn around Hoop 2as you did for the First.

Round Hoop 3

Again I have Rotated the Doll. Its is now 180 degrees from where I started. Repeat the Winding process. You should now be able to see Loops forming at the Top.

Round Hoop 4

Unfortunately this Photograph did not come out but the process is the same.

Back to Start

After winding the Yarn around Hoop 4 turn the Doll again and you should be Back to the Start with the Doll smiling at you.

The Toggles are finally dry and I am no longer getting ink on my fingers so are ready for use.

Extra Loop

 

I have Knitted another I-Cord and Sewn it to form a Loop. I have added the Extra Loop in the Centre of the others.

Mark with Pins

 

I need to match up the Toggles with the Loops. This is not as straightforward as the other side as the Material Length is slightly Wider. I have placed the Material and Marked with Pins where the Toggles should be Sewn

Three Toggles

 

I decided to use the Original Toggles first. I have Sewn them at the two ends and in the Centre.

Vertical Toggles

 

I have encountered a problem. I had been so concerned about making sure the Loops were Sewn on the thicker Material that I had not thought about the amount of space between.

Therefore, I have Sewn the new Toggles Vertically. Perhaps losing a Toggle and having to use Smaller ones has become an advantage.

Finished Toggles

 

I have Finished Sewing all the Toggles in place. Whilst not perfect I am satisfied with the End result.

Would you credit it? I have had the Leaves I Knitted under my nose for months and now when I want to use them they have gone walkabout.

Gap Fox Side

Since I cannot do what I planned until I find the Leaves or make some more I am reduced to doing a spot of Maintenance.

As you can see in the above photograph there is a Gap at the Top where I have added extra Rows.

Fox Side Sewn

 

I proceeded to Blanket Stitch the Two Parts Together.

Gap Badger Side

I have the same problem on the Badger Side.

Badger Side Sewn

 

This was easier to Sew as I had left a long Tail when I Knitted whereas on the Fox I had to find the Wool to Match.

Top Rim Tidied.

Finally I Sewed the Top Rim to make it Tidy.
