Barbara Giguere created these dolls using her 4&quot; Weave-it loom. I made mine with the Wonder Weave, which also creates a 4&quot; square.<\/p>\n<p>I selected three colors of Dale of Norway\/Falk 100%&#0160;wool and threaded the loom with the neutral beige. I used the same color to weave six rows for the head. I then swapped to my second color, wove six more rows, and finally swapped to my third color, weaving six more rows. Once off the loom, it&#39;s pretty straightforward to finish the dolls. Simply sew up the back to make a tube, use the extra yarn to draw in the neck and stuff, then gather&#0160;the top. Stuff the body, tighten the waist and sew the feet. I liked how Barbara stitched in some arms and on the boy doll, some legs, so I followed the same idea.<\/p>\n<p>Doll hair is still difficult for me. I don&#39;t quite know how to stitch it so it covers the head and yet can&#39;t be pulled off by a child. These two dolls have hair, but it&#39;s pretty loose&#8211;one good tug and it&#39;ll come off. I&#39;ll need to research hair for future dolls.<\/p>\n<p>These two dolls are just four inches high. Aren&#39;t they sweet?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#0160; When I saw this posting&#0160;and instructions on the eLoomanator&#39;s blog, I knew I had to try to make these two dolls using just one 4&quot; woven square apiece.
