Swap Requirements

  • You will have ONE (1) partner.
  • You will make ONE (1) Matryoshka Doll from the pattern located here:

Matryoshka Crochet Doll Pattern

  • The colors are Sender's Choice (so you may go ahead and get started if you like!)
  • Please make sure you make something nice & that you would enjoy receiving!
  • Please make sure you are able to crochet before joining!

Sign up Requirements

  • You must have FIVE (5) MAILED swaps (NOT just Postcard/Email swaps). If you don't have 5 swaps under your belt, please pm me, and I might possibly be willing to do a private swap with you!
  • You must have no recent unexplained "1s" or "3s". If you have some really strange circumstances, please pm me!
  • I will be carefully checking profiles before assigning partners!

Ratings Requirements

  • A "5" means you received your items as listed above.
  • A "3" means your items were late, or not represented as listed above (However a "3" does "NOT" mean, you didn't like your items!!)
  • A "1" means no items rec'd at all. (Hopefully this won't happen!)

Any questions, please feel free to ask!!


ETA: I've had a few good questions, so I thought I'd also address them here!

  • No, you do NOT have to use cotton yarn as the pattern describes.
  • I'm not going to give an approx. size, as depending on the type of yarn you use, the size will vary.
  • Repeating again: Color choice is up to Sender.
  • You may decorate your doll however you wish, it does not have to look just like the pattern picture. That (IMO) is the beauty of "handmade" swaps-they are open to "Artist Variations"!

Question for more experienced crocheters: Does sc2TOG mean to decrease? Or am I missing something? LOL!

MamaD 03/20/2010 #

Yes, Becky. That is a Decrease!

BeckyKay 03/21/2010 #

Trial run was a success! I'm in! :)

Good to hear Becky!

Please everyone note: I've added a "ETA" to the end of the swap description to address a few questions some people have asked!
