These 3 mini dolls -- a snowman, a gingerbread man, and a Christmas elf-- are a great holiday project when you want to make something with minimal effort and maximum impact. They are just as happy to sit on your mantle or hang on your tree as they are to be put into stockings for the Christmas enjoyment of little hands. If you prefer something more traditional, switch out the robin’s egg blue for a nice pine green or bright red.

They are knitted in worsted weight wool (any scraps will do just fine!) on double pointed needles in size US 3.
