This adorable doll is easy and fun to make. Using only a couple of supplies, she is the perfect project to create with your leftover yarn balls.

She is also a cute gift for younger girls, although any age will find it fun to play with her! This doll can be made quickly, so she can be an excellent last minute gift.
