- First you get a ball of wool and wind it about twenty times round your hand. Then you cut it at both ends so as to have it in little strips. Then you get a piece of coloured wool and tie it at the top for the dolls head, and about an inch down tie it again, and about 1½ inches down again tie it so as to have the body. Then divide the ends of the wool for the legs and tie a bit of coloured wool at the end of each leg.
