Three bright knitted matryoshkas in three sizes, each with a rosy embroidered face, a knotted headscarf and a skirt decorated with flower buttons. A cardboard base lets them stand neatly on a shelf – a cheerful folk-art decoration, a gift for collectors and a soft toy for little hands. Knit them in your own colours.

A knitting pattern by Svetlana Zabelina with step-by-step instructions, tips and process photos. All three dolls are included.
