Product Description
Hello,
This pattern is for a lovely little witch called Luna.
Luna was inspired by the lack of cute little witches around. She joins Wanda the first witch in my Bewitched collection.
The pattern features a dress with a cat motif worked in duplicate stitch, together with a hat with a moon motif. Her hair is knitted.
The pattern is not difficult but some basic knitting skills are desirable. The pattern uses 3mm needles and dk yarn.
I hope you enjoy knitting her, but please get in touch if you need any help to understand the pattern.
Thanks!
Luna: A Lovely Little Witch Doll by Stella Jones
What is Being Made
Luna is a charming knitted doll designed as part of the "Bewitched" collection by Stella Jones. This adorable witch doll measures 13.5 inches tall from toe to top of head, with a waist circumference of 7.5 inches and legs that are 4.5 inches long to the bottom of the boot. Luna is the second design in this Halloween-themed collection, created to provide cute and pretty Halloween crafts for children. The doll comes complete with a witches hat featuring a moon motif, a dress decorated with a cat motif, and a distinctive hairstyle. The pattern encourages crafters to add a little black cat companion to complete the magical theme.

The construction involves knitting various components separately before assembling them together to create the finished doll. The pattern includes instructions for shaping the doll's body, limbs, and head, as well as crafting the distinctive witch accessories. The witches hat with its moon motif and the cat-motif dress are integral parts of the design, requiring careful attention to detail during construction and assembly.

The beginner-friendly difficulty level indicates that the pattern utilizes fundamental stitches that create the structured fabric necessary for a stuffed doll that maintains its shape and proportions.
