Thistle Doll Knitting Pattern PDF – Scottish Inspired Folk Art Doll

The Thistle Doll knitting pattern is a characterful Scottish-inspired design created for knitters who love slow crafting, natural textures, and folk-art style dolls. Inspired by Scotland’s national flower, this gentle little companion features a soft knitted body, leafy dress details, cosy boots, and a textured thistle crown hat that brings the whole piece together beautifully.

This pattern is designed to be relaxing and enjoyable to knit, using DK yarn and simple shaping techniques. It is worked flat on straight needles and assembled afterwards, making it suitable for confident beginners and intermediate knitters who are comfortable with basic stitches, seaming, and light texture work. Clear written instructions guide you through each stage of the process, from knitting the individual pieces to assembling and finishing your doll.

Once completed, the Thistle Doll makes a lovely decorative piece for shelves, craft rooms, or seasonal displays, and also works beautifully as a handmade gift for lovers of Scottish folklore, cottagecore aesthetics, and traditional crafts. This pattern is intended for display dolls rather than toys for small children, unless adapted by the maker with appropriate safety considerations.
