Holly Angel Doll Pattern from Country Folk by Brenda Walker

The Holly Christmas Angel pattern from the Country Folk range makes an elegant angel rag doll and outfit, particularly suited to Christmas! Created by the talented Brenda Walker, Holly stands 33cm (13″) tall.  The full size pattern to make this adorable rag doll also comes complete with patterns to make a her apron, wings and garland.
