Crocheted Lady Kokeshi Dolls
The real traditional Kokeshi dolls feature oversized heads, are armless and legless, and are carved in Japan. They were vintage tourist gifts, brought home from hot springs visits. Various areas developed particular styles and characteristics within the genre.
I saw some of the wood originals that resembled elegant ladies. This pattern is inspired by them.
The pattern includes instructions for two sizes of dolls, several hair/wig styles and several obi (wrap/sash) styles. The smaller doll is about 6.5 inches using the hook and yarn size prescribed.
