Follow basic instructions for doll on page 19. FEATURES: Use brown yarn for eyebrows and nose; red yarn for a smiling mouth. The flat brown buttons with a dot of white on each make the eyes (Figure 1). HAIR: Use method H-29, page 32. TUNIC: Use green felt or a semi-stiff material and cut from pattern design A-6, page 28. Cut a 7 circle of brown felt and remove a portion from the middle 2½ across. Slit from edge to middle to fit over the head. Scallop around outer edge. This collar fits over the jacket with opening in front. Punch three holes on each side and lace with narrow ribbon (Figure 2). PANTS: Use soft green material and cut from pattern design B-2, page 29. If the material stretches easily, make the pants tighter than the design, since Robin Hood wears tights. Fit to body, tucking at waist. Fit tunic over pants, add belt and buckle. SHOES: Make from green felt or similar material following pattern design A-22, page 30. Cut a “V” shaped slit at each side of shoes or roll the top down slightly (Figure 3). CAP: Cut from green felt following pattern design D-18, page 31. After the cap is sewn on the head, turn the edge up about ½ at the back. Attach a long red feather for color. |
