Sasha Doll Style

In this group of Sashas are: Sasha (1968 Frido fringe girl); Katie (late 60's Kilt girl); Esther (my brunette version Gotz toddler).


Sasha is wearing an elegant outfit. Her party dress is made using a fine floral cotton fabric and features a tiered skirt.

I thought the longer style shaped jacket looked elegant with the belt.

She is wearing matching pants and little white socks with navy leather boneka shoes.


Beside Sasha is my little brunette Esther. When I bought her her hair had already been coloured but in night light it looked salmon pink instead of ginger so I took the plunge and coloured her hair again.

Her smock is made using the same lovely bamboo sock yarn as Sasha's jacket. It is a new toddler outfit and the smock features a pretty textural bramble pattern and little turned up cuffs.

Her trousers are made using the same floral fabric as the dress sasha is wearing.

I completed the outfit with little shetland wool lace weight bootees tied with I-cord made from the same wool as her smock.

Sasha's knitted jacket is made using a beautiful bamboo sock yarn which has a fabulous sheen and drape when knitted with a lovely silky feel.

The colour of this outfit draws out the blue tones in her eyes.
I love this outfit on Katie.

The drop waist dress has a gathered skirt, v-neck and the short sleeves have a little pleat at the cuff. I matched the buttons to the beautiful green colour of the leaves. The buttons took a while to find but are really gorgeous.

The blue lace weight shetland wool cardigan has a v-neck style that fits perfectly beneath the collar of her dress. The blue is exactly the same colour as the blue flower on her floral dress and her blue shoes.

Her socks were knit using natural white lace weight shetland wool with a fine blue stripe.

As usual her pants match her dress fabric.

The models used in this group are:

Amelia (a one of a kind Wenarsky repaint); Poppy (a Frido dungarees girl from 1968); John (early baby boy); Rowena (a limited edition trendon Kiltie).
I had great pleasure collecting the materials and wools for this collection. The colours were wonderful to work with.

Amelia is wearing a cute outfit hand knitted using two different sock wools. I loved the combination of the smudgy looking sock wools with the tie dyed rusty toned needlecord.
She is wearing socks knitted using lace weight shetland wool and beautiful brown leather boneka shoes.


I loved the control of the striped pattern contrasting with the random patterning on her trousers.

Amelia is a beautiful one of a kind girl created by Kelly Wenarsky. She has beautiful hazel eyes with hints of green.



Poppy is wearing a beautiful traditional style dress in a pretty cotton fabric. It has an upright collar and fine cuffs.

The slip and pantalettes are a beautiful contrasting colour picking up the main colour in the dress perfectly.

She is wearing ivory socks hand knit using lace weight shetland wool and beautiful cream leather old style laced boneka boots.


I love the early girls wearing their hair in plaits. It always looks so cute.


John my handsome early baby Gregor is wearing one of my new designs for this collection.

I used two wools in this outfit. The same patterned rusty coloured sock wool used in the outfit below and a lovely warm toned cream wool. They were used to great effect to knit the striped hat and footed trousers.

He has a beautiful cuddly Steiff polar bear which coordinates perfectly with his outfit.


John has the most amazing dark brown eyes.

His aran sweater features cabling on the front and sleeves. It fastens with 3 buttons on the back.

The outfit is finished with a lovely little ribbed scarf.

This outfit is just too cute for words.


This coat pattern has been a work in progress for a while. I really like how it has turned out and it is very cute made in the space dyed sock wool.

I wanted the fairisle top underneath to be fine and light and to pick up the colours in the coat without being the same. The blue worked as a good contrast. The oatmeal background makes the top look summery. I used lace weight shetland wool for this top.

In the end, I teamed this outfit with bootleg style denim trousers, as I loved how it brought out the blue pattern in the fairisle top.

Her socks are oatmeal coloured lace weight shetland wool and she wears boneka brown leather sandals.

Rowena, my beautiful LE Kiltie, suits these colours perfectly.

She has the loveliest light auburn hair and clear blue/grey eyes.

I am not sure about the brown trousers though. They look nice with the duffle but maybe a bit dark with the top. The top actually looks very cute with denim. Would have liked corduroy in the same colour as the oatmeal but the corduroy that I have is too light in colour.

I am planning fairisle socks to go with this outfit.

I opened my new knitting magazine last week and just loved the bramble stitch so I decided to try making one of the modern cardigans which fastens with one press stud at the neck and the front opens to show the colour of the top below.

I had wondered what to do with this brightly coloured sock wool for some time and loved the way the colours worked on the textured pattern.

Her vest top is knitted using a 2 ply lace weight shetland wool and looks beautiful underneath the jacket.

I wanted the vest top and the denim trousers to be a back drop to the colourful jacket.

Haven't decided what else this outfit needs to complete it.

I don't keep very many of my outfits but every so often one just appeals to me. This is one of them.

I love the denim colours in the sock yarn and the ivory alpaca that I used for the contrast. It took me a long time to find buttons for this jacket and in the end I found these on a blouse in a charity shop and just knew they were perfect!

It is very pretty over the short sleeved ivory blouse and teamed with the denim trousers.
