Christmas Angel and Winter Fairy Dolls

Two Christmas patterns for the price of one, this pattern takes you step-by-step through knitting and making up both a Winter Fairy and a traditional Christmas Angel doll in soft chunky yarn. These dolls have wings, wands and sparkles and they would make a lovely pre-Christmas present for children.

Worked flat in stocking stitch on 4.5mm straight knitting needles, they are a fun winter weekend knitting project, and suitable for those with just a little knitting experience. The fairy dress is decorated with felt holly berries, and the angel’s dress with sparkly sequins.

We used a selection of Paintbox Simply Chunky, Stylecraft Special Chunky, Cygnet Kiddies Supersoft Chunky, and King Cole Big Value Chunky to knit the pair, but you can use any similar weight yarn you have in your stash. You'll also need 4.5mm knitting needles, felt, sequins, stuffing, a pair of 6mm toy safety eyes per doll, sewing needles and thread.
