Last week we posted a blog with patterns for doll outfits, however, what if you wanted to make a doll for that special child in your life, or to add to your doll collection? We often get asked which colors are the best to use when crocheting or knitting a doll. Since Red Heart Super Saver is available in over 120 different colors the choices are endless, but there are some choices that make more realistic-looking dolls. Here are some colors we’ve selected and broken down into categories to help get you started.
These suggestions are just starting points. Feel free to mix-and-match however you’d like! This list is all in realistic colors, but feel free to go crazy, like the pink and blue hair used for the Boy and Girl Super Heroes.
The colors given are in Super Saver and Soft, since the doll patterns on our site are made in these yarns. Other good suggestions for yarns to make doll patterns in are Classic and With Love.
