Ekoknits
Ekoknits is a collection of 9 popular Ekokid patterns and includes the basic doll pattern and a whole wardrobe of clothes and accessories.
The patterns are easy and quick to make, and only use small amounts of yarn. You'll need just one pair of knitting needles for the whole book - see below for tools and contents. *Over 50 patterns*
The Ekokid teenage dolls are soft and fun to play with and even tiny hands can dress and undress them easily. Make a whole collection at half the price of plastic teenage dolls and you'll be avoiding the plastic issue as well!
