Combining the charm of traditional knitted dollies with the fun of finger puppetry, these Irish Girl and Morris Man Knitted Dancing Dolls are the answer for anyone who's ever wondered what it might be like if a favourite doll could suddenly come to life.
Inspired by two much-loved traditional dances from Ireland and England respectively, these patterns contain all the detail you'll need to make your own Irish Girl and Morris Man Knitted Dancing Dolls. The costumes for both dolls have been specially designed to include all of the instantly recognisable details we know and love about Irish and Morris Dancing, ranging from the Irish Girl's bright green dress and cute curly hairstyle to the Morris Man's flowery hat and colourful sashes - it's all in there!
Unlike most knitted puppets, the finger puppet element of the Knitted Dancing Dolls is almost impossible to detect when not in use, making them ideal for display as well as play. Both Irish Dancing and Morris Dancing are ideally suited to finger puppetry, and a performance featuring a line up of Irish Girl Knitted Dancing Dolls (where the majority of the moves are focused on the lower half of the body) has to be seen to be believed!
Both dolls are knitted using 100% acrylic yarn and measure approximately 21cm in height (excluding hats). The patterns are best suited to knitters with intermediate to advanced knitting skills.
