crafting with grandma - Crocheted Raggedy Ann & Andy Dolls!

  

I have always been a "fan" of Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls! In fact, the first doll I bought my daughter was a Raggedy Ann doll! After all what isn't there to love about these sweet dolls which have been loved "friends" of children for decades??!!! Sweet, huggable and oh, so  lovable, Raggedy Ann dolls are classics for a reason!

Did you know the Raggedy Ann & Andy dolls made in 1915 have a special mark on their back and if you have one, it can sell for more than $1000! Also, apparently Raggedy Ann & Andy have a dog named, "Rags" - great name for their dog!

So, since tomorrow is Raggedy Ann & Andy Day, I thought I'd share a pattern I found online for making these wonderful dolls for the children you love - check these links (http://www.members.shaw.ca/b.e.webb/rgandann.html and http://yarneverywhere.blogspot.com/2006/06/crochet-chiffon-doll-this-is-basis-for.html) and you'll find free patterns which you can use to craft some sweet friends for the little girls you love! Enjoy!
