About My Wooden Doll Pinocchio
My Wooden Doll Pinocchio earned its place here for one reason: it is a straight answer to knit, and straight answers are rarer in this pattern catalogue than you would think. Unreviewed so far — read that as untested rather than as a verdict. The save count is still small at 87, so read this as our opinion and not a consensus.
Look for the finished measurements in the pattern. A toy that comes out half again as big is a different gift from the one in the photo. We keep it filed mentally under doll, which is the use that needs the least adjusting afterwards. Open it big before you commit. At thumbnail size every pattern on this shelf looks equally good, which is the problem with thumbnails.
Search for amigurumi, knit soft toy, knitting and knitting pattern and this is the file those words land on; they are all the same pattern, filed under whichever phrase you happened to type. It is shelved with the rest of the amigurumi and toy patterns, and that is the quickest way to see what else sits in the same register before you settle on this one. Most of the traffic on this shelf comes in on crochet stuffed animals, teddy bear nursery theme, vintage teddy bear nursery, doll handmade and handmade doll house, and we picked the files on it with those requests in mind rather than by browsing prettiest-first. The neighbouring searches are plush, stuffed, animal, bear and bunny — worth a look if this particular pattern is close but not quite it.

How to use this pattern
- Download the PDF from Creative Fabrica and check the yardage and hook size before you shop — a small gift rarely needs a full skein.
- Work the gauge swatch anyway on anything that has to fit, like a hat or a bracelet; on a stuffed toy you can skip it.
- Stuff toys firmer than feels right and close the seam with a ladder stitch — a gift gets squeezed, and loose stuffing shows within a week.
- Make the first one a week before you need it. The second one is always the one you give away.
