In only fifteen minutes, you can make a doll from nothing but yarn. Grab a book, piece of cardboard, lid or anything rectangular to wrap your yarn around. The longer side will be the body, the shorter side the arms. Wrap a minimum of 25 times. The more you wrap, the thicker your doll will be.
Feel free to embellish your doll with lace, felt, buttons or anything else that you like.
