Mary Poppins

The Mary Poppins crochet doll set is a single doll, and a precise one: the coat, the hat, the bag and the umbrella all have to be there or she is just a woman in navy.

The umbrella is the piece that makes the doll. It is crocheted as its own item with the handle shaped rather than added as a stick, so it can be held or set beside her. The hat brim is worked flat and shaped for the same reason Callie's is — so it does not droop.

A grown-up gift

This one is almost never bought for a child. It goes to collectors, to nannies and teachers as a leaving present, and to people buying a doll of something their mother loved.

Handmade to order in five sizes; the larger sizes carry the coat detail properly. More in cartoon crochet dolls, or a doll made of a real person at personalized look-alike crochet doll.
