Though I set out to make a baby doll, the more I look at the finished doll, the more I think to call it Grandma doll, haha. Really, does it not look like a grandma doll?

This is a very good project for left over yarn. The yarn I used for this doll was actually what was left over from the Simple Waves Baby Blanket I made a while back, and since there’s a baby shower invite on my calender in the coming weeks, it occured to me to use it to create something soft and cuddly for the little one.

I was all done and ready to publish this pattern without the arms when I had the nagging feeling to make arms for them, so I had to do them. I think the arms add personality to the doll. What do you think?

             

As mentioned above, this is a very beginner friendly pattern that won’t take a lot of time. Without further ado, let’s make this soft, cuddly ‘grandma’ doll.
