Rosetta Heart Garland Angel Pattern from Country Folk by Brenda Walker

The Rosetta Heart Garland Angel pattern from the Country Folk range makes an adorable angel rag doll and outfit, particularly suited to Christmas!  Created by the talented Brenda Walker, Rosetta stands 30cm (12″) tall.  The full size pattern to make this adorable rag doll also comes complete with patterns to make a dress, a jacket, wings and a garland of hearts.  Brenda also completes her patterns with easy to follow instructions and says “I design and create decorations for the home inspired by the Northamptonshire countryside”!
