I was able to make this middle sized babushka not quite as cone shaped as my first one but for some mysterious reason she is more bulgy on one side than the other plus the flower didn't turn out quite right.
Hmmm - one more to smaller one to go. Haven't decided yet on what colours I'll use. Hopefully I'll be able to start this evening and maybe she'll be the best of the three. The patterns can be found in
Nikki Trench's wonderful book:
Cute & Easy Crochet.

ReplyDeleteAdorable! I may decide to take up crocheting again!
ReplyDeleteVery very cute ..... and I think you are being way way to picky .... flowers are supposed to be perfect and she has a charming little lilt to her ;)
ReplyDeleteWow! How cute these are! I don't see any of the flaws you have mentioned. The shapes of the doll and the flower look right to me.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter was so happy and excited when I showed these pictures to her. And thanks for participating in the give-away!
Thank you everyone for your nice comments! Okay I won't feel so bad that they are both a little wonky. :)
