THIS PATTERN IS AVAILABLE FOR FREE WITH THE PURCHASE OF ANY FARM FRIENDS PATTERN OR EBOOK.

Construction

The Friendly Farmer is knit in one piece from the bottom-up. The doll’s body can be knit flat on straight needles and seamed, or knit in the round on dpns. The hat brim is knit from stitches picked up from the finished doll. Details are added with embroidery and simple sewing techniques are used to define the arms and legs after knitting.

Gauge

Exact gauge is not important; Choose a needle 2 or 3 sizes smaller than recommended on the ball band to create a dense fabric that will keep the stuffing hidden
