[Nfb-krafters-korner] [Bulk] Old craft question

[Jennifer Jackson]

I have made several of these cute little yarn dolls over the years.  You can
separate off some yarn for the arms and then trim them a little shorter with
scissors. You can also push something through the middle of the body to be
the arms. A braided tube of yarn works, and channel stems are fun on smaller
dolls. Chunnel stems inside the yarn can also let you arrange the arms
somewhat. I have made boys and girls by leaving the bottom as a skirt or
dividing it into legs. Felt clothes are fun for these too.

Hello everyone,

Do any of you young ones out there remember a yarn doll craft. Not a real
doll, but that is what I am calling it. I will describe it. Using scrap
yarn, my Mom use to make a 6 inch doll that she would place on packages for
the holiday. It was a few strands, doubled over then a strand wrapped around
the top to make a head, then middle for waist, strands separated to make 2
legs and tied off, BUT I can not remember how the arms were made, was
separate strands separated from the body and tied off to make the arms. If
anyone remember this oldie but cutie, please send me your idea. Thanks.
Terry K
