Princess Elsa knitted doll

My granddaughter is a huge fan of the Disney film, ‘Frozen’ and is particularly keen on Princess Elsa, so I decided to knit one for her. Elsa is knitted in double knit yarn and filled with toy stuffing. She measures about 30cm/12” tall. Elsa’s cape is pale blue in the film, but I was stash busting and used up the last bit of sparkly white I had! The plait can be made by crochet or knitting, depending on your preference
