DOBBY THE HOUSE ELF DOLL

 

Dobby was a request of a co-worker. I searched for several days trying to find a free pattern for Dobby. Unfortunately, I came up empty. So, I decided to design one of my own. It was a little difficult because he did not have the same body shape as any of the dolls that I had made before. It slowly came together. Here is the pattern that I came up with.
