Mint Melody Doll
Dear Crocheter;
Mint Melody can also be used to hide a roll of bathroom tissue. Of the three dolls in this set, she will work up the quickest for that last minute gift. Any two shades of the same color that you have on hand will work fine. It will also be interesting with two different colors, such as white for the main color and light blue for the points. However you decide to make her up, I’m sure you’ll be pleased. Happy crocheting, Debbie
