Animals, DOLLS, and OTHER Fun Things

Dolls are made with cotton, merino wool or acrylic yarns and have embroidered faces, with safety eyes sewn on the face. They are one of a kind doll and fun companions. Most are based on patterns by Magda Laine, unless otherwise noted.

All the animals featured here are lovingly hand knit using high quality wool, wool blends and cotton yarns. They have hand embroidered faces (some have sewn eyes and some have attached safety eyes with a backing inside the head), and they are stuffed with polyfiberfil. All of them are one of a kind and each develops its personality as it is knit. Because of their handmade nature, they are not suitable for young children, unless used as a decorative item.

Animals and dolls are great for older children, teens and adults. They encourage a child’s imagination, and provide comfort and company to older folks. They are perfect little retirement, thank you, congratulations, sympathy or ‘thinking of you’ gifts for someone of any age.

Bunnies, Elephants, Foxes, Lambs, Badgers, Deer, Bears, Pigs, Mice, Lions: The regular sized animals are approximately 9″ tall from feet to the top of the ears (small rabbits are 7″ tall) and can stand with support, unless it’s noted that they prefer sitting. These animals are based on patterns by Little Cotton Rabbits.

  4. WE are so excited!
    Calvin and Evan are coming into the family to be held and loved!!
    These animals have such gentle characteristics that are easy to fall in love with. ( We already have 2!)
    Their little hanging legs and the back of the heads are meant to be cradled.
    Thank you for your care and kindness in creating these gentle creatures. We love to love and share them.
    They make us smile and happy.
