Sage Green Forest Elf Doll – Complete Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Gathering Your Supplies

To achieve the tall, slender look of this doll, a smooth cotton yarn is best. It holds the shape well without being too bulky.

• Yarn: Worsted weight or Sport weight cotton yarn (e.g., YarnArt Jeans, Catania).
  • Sage Green: Main color for the body, legs, arms, and hood (approx. 100g).
  • Cream/Beige: For the face and hands (approx. 30g).
  • Mustard Yellow: For the scarf (approx. 30g).
  • Red: For the wrist cuff (tiny amount).
  • Light Beige/Off-White: For the wings (tiny amount).
• Hook: 2.5 mm or 3.0 mm (choose a size that gives you a tight, firm fabric).
• Notions:
  • 8-10 mm black safety eyes.
  • Poly-fil stuffing (you will need a lot for the long body!).
  • Tapestry needle.
  • Scissors.
  • Stitch markers.
  • Pink blush or yarn for cheeks.

What you'll master: Creating a tall, slender doll structure, working long continuous rounds, and assembling modular accessories.
