Harry, Ron and Hermione...

I relate closely to Hermione... she's a bookish knowitall who can get in your face when she thinks you're doing it wrong.  :oP 

But she's also courageous enough to step past her fears, steadfastly loyal to her friends, and too clever for her own good.

When I made a Harry Potter doll last year, it was with the intention of making Ron and Hermione right away.  I kept putting them on the back burner.  I'm happy to say I finally got to them!

All three dolls are about 10 inches tall.  They're all from the same pattern by Craftin' Swag if you're on Ravelry.

The dolls are made separately from the clothes so they have a 'real' feel.  The arms are placed into the sleeves of the sweater, and the sweater put on the doll before sewing, to help with proper placement.

I'll admit that I had to tack down most of the clothes as they seem to be significantly larger than the dolls.  I probably used less polyfill than most.

So, here they are... my very own "Trio"!  Ta-dah!

(Darn, I wish I could have found green safety eyes for Harry!)

    1. Darn, it looks like she did retire the patterns. Even her Etsy shop is closed. I'll send her a message and see if we can get it for you.
