When mom knits a doll, it looks like this >> 
17” tall soccer star, complete with a black and white jersey, striped shorts and Converse boots. Adorable, isn’t he?
And when I knit a doll, somehow it turns out like this>> 
5” of sheer ugliness!
What does it say about your knitting skills when the backside of your doll looks way cuter than its face? 😦
Tales of Twisted Fibers 
these are lovely.
Thank you 🙂
I’ll say the same – they are indeed lovely.

It says “You can create character, and perfection is boring”
Look at her eyes and that smile, she’s a gentle soul and just delighted to be a ballerina :0)) I love her ❤
You forgot to mention her adorable snub nose 😛
Ah, what a shame – ye mock her :-p She’s adorable 😀
awww she’s so cute..but i must say i love the converse shoes on the first pic
I think this post needs to be filed under “So ugly it’s cute” category 😉 But thank you for your lovely comment. Will tell mom her knitted Converse is a big hit online 😀
so awesome… i think the front of your doll is cute too… and please tell your mom, i loved the converse shoes doll… 🙂
The ugly doll thanks you, little miss obsessive, for your kind words. She’s been feeling pretty neglected latey (I found her this morning collecting dust under the closet) and needed some love and appreciation I guess 😀 Will pass on the message to my mom; I’m sure she’ll be psyched too 🙂
I am looking for a soccer doll pattern for my Grand daughter. Where did you get this pattern. Is it available for purchase?
I don’t have this pattern; my mom knitted it for me. But there is a ‘Footballer’ pattern in Jean Greenhowe’s Mascot Dolls booklet, which you can order online. Here’s the link if you’d like to take a look: http://www.jeangreenhowe.com/mascot.html
Update: Just found out this pattern is from “Bootleg Kids”, a 20 page booklet by Jacquay Yaxley. This link will take you to the online shop: http://www.hobbyknit.co.uk/p49269/Bootleg-Kids-20-Page-Book/c0-9721-9721
