A folk-costume couple: the Cossack woman with a brown bun and bead earrings in a frilled blouse, a fitted jacket and a long skirt with a ruffled hem, and the Cossack man with curly hair in a blue uniform with a belt and tall boots – with a black fur papakha or a peaked cap, and a long shaggy burka cloak. Knit them in the colours of the pattern or your own.
A knitting pattern by Svetlana Zabelina with step-by-step instructions, tips and process photos. Both dolls, two hats and the cloak are included.
