Penelope means “weaver” in ancient Greek, which is fitting for a doll that’s pin loom woven! This adorable little girl is made completely from squares woven on 1 pin loom – a 4″ square. Not only is the doll woven on 1 loom, but the pattern for Penelope also includes a little blanket…made from 4″ woven squares.
But wait, there’s more! We’ve combined the pattern for Penelope with the Lilliputian dolls. The updated and revised pattern now includes:
- Large Girl Doll (Penelope) – 14″ tall
- Small Girl Doll (Lilliputian) – 6 1/4″ tall
- Small Boy Doll (Lilliputian) – 7 1/4″ tall
- Quilt/Blanket for Large Doll – 11″ L x 14″ H
- Quilt/Blanket for Small Doll – 6 1/2″ L x 9″ H
- Step by Step Written Instructions
- Lots of Photos and Charts
The Lilliputian dolls can both be made with a 2″ square pin loom (but a 2″ x 4″ rectangle would be nice for the skirt). The quilt for the small dolls can be made with a 1″ square pin loom but would be more enjoyable (have less tails for weaving in) if it was also made with a 1″ x 2″ and a 1″ x 4″ rectangle.

Boy and Girl Dolls – Pin Loom Weaving Pattern
The pattern is written for the 3 dolls you see in the above photo, a tall girl doll, a small boy doll and a small girl doll. The woven dolls are easy to customize by changing the color of the clothes, hair and skin. We say “girl” because of the skirt, but perhaps you want to weave a tartan fabric and give the boy doll a kilt. You can do that, too!
The pattern also shows the Lilliputian dolls with or without shoes. You decide about the footwear for the Lilliputians.
The dolls are made with 3 different types of shoulders attachments. Penelope has posable arms that can spin all around. This is great for having her wave or for holding hands with the kiddos. The little boy doll has arms that bend at the shoulder so they can be raised and lowered, where as the little girl doll has arms that are stationary.
We rate this pattern as easy…great for confident beginners. All the parts and pieces are woven in plain weave.
