Flower Dolls Knitting Pattern by Edith Grace Designs

Since I was a child, I have had a collection of Cicely Mary Barker's Flower Fairy books, which contain poems and illustrations of flower fairies. I have drawn inspiration from these books to design these flower doll knitting patterns. The pattern includes a snowdrop, daffodil, poppy and bluebell doll. The patterns are easy to intermediate for knitters. The dolls would look perfect as part of a display, as part of a post box topper or a handmade gift for the nursery.

This doll is 14cm tall and is dressed as a British Red Cross Nurse from WWI. She wears a light blue dress with puffed sleeves. She has a bonnet and wears the distinctive nurse's apron with a red cross. I designed a larger doll for the WWI 100 years remembrance in 2014.
