15 Hand-Knitted Dolls That Are Full of Knitting Fun

A superhero cat protecting the city, a pilot ostrich wearing a pilot hat and sunglasses, a mermaid with curly hair and a crown, a fish with lanterns hanging from the ends of its tentacles… Cook Kay, who creates a fantastical world by giving stories to hand-knitted dolls, presents a new lineup of cute and adorable doll friends.
We paid close attention to every detail, from the three-dimensional shapes that capture the characteristics of various animals, to the clothing and accessories that express their individuality, to the lovely and humorous facial expressions.
These dolls, which are completed in sizes of 15 to 30 centimeters, are not very bulky, so they have few simple repetitive sections and can be completed in a relatively short period of time, making them great for feeling the fun and satisfaction of knitting.


The front of the book introduces basic techniques such as materials and tools, crochet hand knitting techniques used to create partial knits, and stitches needed for connecting, and also provides tips for knitting without visible gaps or seams, which are crucial for doll knitting.
It is divided into three levels of difficulty, from beginner level, which allows you to make it easily and quickly in a relatively simple form, to advanced level, which allows you to create unique shapes and details by changing threads of various colors, so you can refer to it when choosing which piece to knit.


Various shapes, clothes, and cute props
Techniques and ideas that can be used in many ways

The dolls featured in this book not only bring their characters to life with their distinctive features, such as the antennae and wings of bees and ladybugs, the unique hands and feet of platypuses and ostriches, the antlers of giraffes and reindeer, and the fins of mermaids, but they also attract attention with their diverse costumes and props.
The costumes feature a variety of patterns through color changes, and can also create unique impressions by modifying the neckline or adding embroidery.
If you knit it with clothes on from the beginning, it is easy to complete, and if you knit a detachable vest, overalls, or dress separately, you can learn the basics of making doll clothes.
There are a variety of accessories that can be easily completed, such as capes, scarves, hats, bags, and glasses, so you can have fun combining them in various ways.

It's also fun to transform the doll to suit your own taste.
In fact, the five dolls introduced in the book have been modified with samples of yarn, color, size, etc., and the necessary yarn information has been added.
There are plenty of other creative possibilities. Increase the size of your needle and use thicker yarn to create a slightly larger, cuddly doll. Alternatively, you can knit a smaller one to use as a keychain or attach to your bag.
You could give the mermaid a human-like appearance by adding legs instead of fins to her face, or you could create new outfits and props to fit existing dolls.
