'Dolls'
From The TEAROOM
A new knitting pattern
including 4 variations of an original 14" Tearoom Doll
to sit unaided with arms forward and legs splayed
A free PDF is also attached to the main pattern download
for anyone who would like to have the instructions to also make
a simple cotton pinafore with bias binding straps
(very quick and easy)
Created using
beautiful 100% Pure Shetland Wool from
in Double Knitting Weight
each doll requiring just a 25g ball of each shade.
I'd definitely recommend using this yarn for the pattern
It creates lovely structured dolls which feel very unique
(and there's also an amazing choice of 220+ shades available
for anyone who would like to customise their own doll)
The dolls hair has been created using a wonderful speciality doll yarn from
Little Oke Dolls
(a fantastic site for doll makers as many will already know)
...a large loop mohair yarn which quickly creates a lovely textured head of hair
and comes in several beautiful shades too....
(there are almost 50 in the PDF pattern
...dressed...undressed...being put together...
along with lots of written instructions and tips)
♥ ♥ ♥
It's been so much fun photographing them
and putting this pattern together...
I did plan a pattern to include just one doll
....but they quickly began to multiply.....
(...and will continue to do so I'm sure...
I definitely forgot just how much fun playing with dolls can be :-) )
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
For anyone who would like to make a Tearoom Doll...
the pattern to make
Belle...Molly...Layla...and...Bliss
along with the FREE project attachment
it's available from today in my
Etsy Shop
and hopefully later today on Ravelry
(I just have to remind myself of the technicalities! ♥)
I'm hoping to add more patterns and projects
for the dolls in the future both for purchase/free ...clothes...accessories...
ways to add hair and using different textures too ect.
Thank you to everyone who has messaged me
wondering where I could be (?!!)
I did seem to completely forget the time while being a busy bee
(and can we really be in July already?)
So many friends had curiously already guessed what I was making
(and I'm still pondering about that one! :-) )
please feel free to contact me by email
or on Facebook
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Thank you as always for calling by
...and to anyone who purchases the pattern...
I hope you have lots of fun making your dolls ♥
Take care
until next time

P.S I should also mention that there's a 'Resource' page
at the end of the pattern with lots of useful links x
Update
The new pattern has been added to the TEAROOM Shop listings
and is also now available on Ravelry
(patterns can also be saved to your Ravelry library
from the TEAROOM Shop)
Thank you everyone who has already purchased
and for the wonderful feedback!

ReplyDelete♥ Thank you Lori...hope you have fun making your dolls...xxx
DeleteHello- they are gorgeous - question -is there anywher I can purchase completed dolls -thanks
ReplyDeleteThank you ♥ ....and the dolls are only available as a knitting pattern...xxx
DeleteDear, lovely Susan,
ReplyDeleteYou have been working magic these past few weeks! Your dolls are absolutely enchanting and I have fallen for the charms of the colours you have used. The French say that the Devil is in the detail. I don't agree! The détails you have included in your designs: the texture of the hair, the shoes, the clothes, make your dolls so very precious.
I am quite certain I will be purchasing this delightful pattern. I am totally into doll-making these days. Making up my own pattern is a slow, slow process but seeing the beauty you have created has inspired me greatly.
Stephanie
These are just completely gorgeous! And it was lovely see a post from you popping up in my blog feed. I had missed your happy, colourful posts.
ReplyDeleteMarianne x
Oh Susan.....
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE AMAZING! I am very late in visiting for I am always on the lookout for your newest posts! But a bad storm ripped through here and knocked out our electricity and internet services for 24 hours!
Every doll here is an heirloom piece and with such personality. Your skills are just fascinating! Big hugs, and good to see you again! Anita
The dolls are absolutely gorgeous <3 I am not the knitter capable of tackling one of them, but I am looking forward to seeing all the more talented knitters' creations.
ReplyDeleteSmiles, DianeM :)
Hi Susan
ReplyDeleteAs a long time fan and purchaser of your gorgeous patterns I have to say these beautiful little dolls have to be my favourite. I love dolls, especially knitted ones and Belle, Molly and Layla have the prettiest faces. I have my pattern and am off to order yarn as I can't wait to get started. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talents.
Darling SUSAN! Hello!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see a comment from you my friend! Yes, I am at the helm again this year for what I hope will be yet another fun opportunity for everyone to get super creative and to make new blogger friends! Think about it, then let me know this week IF you can participate. I need to put up another blog post tonight or tomorrow as a reminder before the party.
Hoping you are having a lush and lovely summer!! Anita
Well I was right Susan, and I knew if you designed a doll it would be just perfect. These dolls are very cute and cleverly done. The photography in the pattern is excellent - yes I bought the pattern even though they're bigger as you mentioned. I've been in Wales all week or I would have seen them on Monday - I'm just back and I'm going to sit down this evening and enjoy looking through the pattern. Well done, I think you've designed a doll that will give lots of knitters and little girls much pleasure.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Ann and yes, your knitty' intuition proved to be correct :-) !...I've loved making the dolls...so much fun x Hope you had a wonderful time in Wales and have a lovely weekend too ♥
DeleteOh my gosh Susan! They are so gorgeous!!!! I think I will have to do a lot more practising so that one day I can make these... Have a lovely week you talented lady :-)
ReplyDeleteHelen
Do you sell the patterns already printed please?
ReplyDeleteHello....I do sell printed copies on Ebay....(just click the 'By Post' link here in the side bar) or I could send you a Paypal invoice if you email me as to the patterns you would like (the address is under the 'contact' tab....:-) x
DeleteWow... I have been moving and haven't had as much time to visit all my favorite blogs and I'm so impressed... These dools are absolutely gorgeous!!, so so very cute . You have impeccable taste. The colors, the hair, very single detail is absolutely perfect.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I saw that you posted and stopped by.mi will check your etsy also. :)
Oh are these dollies sweet!!! Another lovely pattern you have designed:-)
ReplyDeleteI must get my needles out again, your dolls are so yummy!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, they are gorgeous! And must have taken so much work to perfect. Well done x
ReplyDeleteWhat utterly gorgeous dolls! I wish I could knit better, seeing gorgeous patterns like this makes me all the more determined to improve my knitting skills :-) I hope you have a lovely weekend x
ReplyDeleteso....so gorgeous!!! You have a magical touch!!!
ReplyDeletekeep well
Amanda x
Hello lovely Susan, sorry I have not been around much - life is toooo busy for al the wrong reasons! I have bought your gorgeous pattern and am in love with it. I have bought the yarn and once I clear a space I will be starting to make these beauties. You are such a talented designer Susan, always love visiting you and looking at your wonderful creations. I hope you are having a fabulous day, sending you lots of love and hugs
ReplyDeleteDorothyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Oh wow, this is so sweet that makes me want to knit, I do not know much, all I know is knit and purl and haven't done anything besides a straight scarf, do you think I can learn how to knit a lovely doll like this? Oh again, this is so so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kirsty....the knitting stitches are really very basic and I do think if you can knit and purl you would be able to do this... the skill is more in the putting together and stuffing but there are lots of instructions/tips in the pattern and I'm always available too if you need any advice :-) ....xx
DeleteOh Susan, your new dolls are just so Sweet!! How Precious! and....so well made!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about them right down to there little shoes!
xx Shari
Wow, so cute!! Can't say who's the sweetest, they are all real beauties :-). Great job, Susan!
ReplyDeleteNata xxx
Wow these dolls are so gorgeous - I wish that I could knit. Everything about them is adorable, I especially like the hair.
ReplyDeleteMy sweet friend who I have missed so much.....HELLO! As I open your page, I have to smile as these soft colors and sweet objects of your creativity welcome me in. HOW ARE YOU? Thank you for coming over to visit, and yes, we had a fabulous link party that took us readers to various parts of Europe, England being one of them! I hope you are enjoying a wonderful summer (I do hope you are no where near the flooding?)
ReplyDeleteSchool for me is starting early this year; August 25 is the first day of school and I am still not mentally ready!
Enjoy all the summer fun my friend. Hugs, Anita
These have to be the sweetest little knit dolls I've seen! Mind you, I still have to make some tea mice from the patterns I purchased from you! A nice fall project, I think.

Hi there Susan
ReplyDelete...so excited I've just shared a link to your FB page and picture of your girls and also of Romeo on my FB. I don't know if you remember but I don't knit so I flung out a plea to my sisters as they do, saying I really wanted someone to knit Romeo for me! A few minutes yes just minutes I had a reply on FB from my sister in NSW Australia to say she'd love to try one of your patterns and to make it for me.
Whoopee!!!
I am now off to your shop to buy the pattern and to send it to her.
Today is a great day!!!! yessssssss
keep well
Amanda x
Lovely Amanda...I do remember indeed that you don't knit (but I always remember that you are a truly wonderful crocheter!) How lucky you are to have such a kind sister and you will finally have your Romeo :-) (one day there may be a crochet version!)... x
DeleteHave a lovely weekend,
Susan xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi again Susan
DeletePattern duly purchased and sent to my sister in OZ. I can't wait to receive at last my very own Romeo!
oooooh! a crochet version...yes please!!!

PS: Mediterranean giveaway now open to all!
Ive just realised the red-headed one could be slightly altered to make a fantastic "Katie Morag"! x

ReplyDeleteMy Goodness, they are so adorable I wish I could knit and make them.. All the times I have come here my heart is just in the air.. your things are lovely.. which you put the dolls for sale.. with love Janice
