Little People Patterns Peg Doll Mama Spring or Autumn Shawl Crochet Pattern If your Little People like playing with Peg Dolls, they will love this sweet spring or autumn shawl for Mama from our Peg Doll Accessories Collection. Make them in neutral or bold colours, from soft cotton or silk yarn to match the rest of Mama’s wardrobe. The idea for this shawl for Mama came about after a friend had asked me to create hats and a sling in different sizes for her Peg Dolls. She was planning to sell them with her handmade timber houses at one of upcoming the Waldorf/Steiner school festivals and needed them done quickly. In all honesty, I got into a bit of a frenzy making hats in all kinds of colour variations. I really do like how simply using different kinds of colour combinations additional to using stripes or just a rim for the hats can change the look and feel of the Peg Dolls. However, I wanted to create something even more… After all, if Peg Dolls wear hats and nothing else, won’t they get a bit cold around the body? By the way, if you would like a pattern for making those hats in all different sizes, you can find a tutorial here and a downloadable pdf in either US or UK terms here. Anyhoo, I felt some sort of clothing was needed for balance, so I designed a Mama shawl. If you prefer a download for the shawl pattern, there is a pdf version available in the shop for a tiny contribution towards the Black Sheep Project. The download is available in US or UK terms. Each version contains a printable version (without pictures) and a photo tutorial with step-by-step written and visual instructions. Get the Pattern (US Terms) …

These wooden clothes pin or peg dolls are easy to put together and provide a lot of scope for creativity. Here in Australia you can purchase the special split leg clothes pins or pegs, called dolly pegs, from Spotlight, Lincraft and various other outlets. If you are very lucky you might also find a supplier who stocks the matching wooden beads that are intended for use as the head. I couldn't find them anywhere, so I improvised with a wooden bead that I drilled to fit. The first step is to drill a hole at the "shoulder". You can see here in the photo below where it starts to taper inward, that's where you want to drill so that when you put through the arms they are proportionately a correct distance from the head. Once you have drilled, paint the bead and upper body in flesh tone. Cut an 8" piece of firm but flexible wire, thick gauge beading wire works well for this project. This will form the arm. Wrap it tightly in flesh coloured embroidery floss, covering the entire length of wire. I secured each end with a bit of sticky tape, these ends will get tucked in so you won't see the tape. Insert the wrapped wire through the hole you made at the shoulders. Once through, make sure that it is centred evenly, then fold the wire back in on itself, tucking the cut ends into the armholes. Each arm should now be just under 2" in length. Starting to take shape already! Some doll artists wrap the arms with a colour of embroidery floss that compliments the dolls' outfit, I like to use a chenille stick. Start with the end butted up close to the shoulder, then start wrapping at the wrist, back along the length of chenille back to the body, leaving about half an inch at the end. Repeat on both sides, and then twist the ends at the back of the body. Take the bead off the top of the peg and insert the doll into an egg carton so you can paint the legs. You could have done this stage earlier when you were painting the torso, but often I won't know what colour the legs are going to be until well into the design process, in this case I painted them flesh tone. You can see in the photo below how I have twisted the chenille sticks at the back of the body too. While the legs are drying we can paint the face. There are many different ways you can put faces on your dolls, or you can omit the faces altogether and just leave the bead blank. I painted two blue ovals for the eyes. For the cheeks I took a stiff stippling brush and put the teensiest bit of pink on the bristles and then brushed off most of the excess colour on the paper towel. I then lightly brushed circles over the cheeks. This technique is called dry brushing. Add two little white dots for highlights on the eyes. Eyelashes are just short strokes with brown paint. I decided to leave this doll without a mouth. There are many different ways you can give your doll hair. There are synthetic curls you can buy from craft stores, string, raffia, threads and yarns. I love using yarns with verigated colours and different textures to get interesting locks. The yarn I used here is a soft, fluffy yarn with cream and warm brown, with a gold thread running through. To make the 'wig', wrap the yarn around your hand several times and tie off in the middle, as shown below. Glue to the top of the head using hot glue, and trim the ends. Here you can see that I have painted her shoes on also. I leave gluing her head on until she is dressed, as some clothes have a narrow neck that won't fit over her head. This is as far as I will go with constructing the doll until her outfit is completed and she is dressed. Once she has clothes on I will have a better idea of how to do her hair to suit the style of the outfit, but there you have it, the basics of creating clothes pin dolls. This is what the doll looked like when she was finished. The Clothes Pin Dolls group on Flickr is a wonderful source of inspiration.
