How to Make a Steiner Doll by Sooz
Ever wondered how to make a Steiner doll (also known as a Waldorf Doll)? Yes? Then you really must drop in on Sooz’s fantastic free tutorial!

The project requires the basic softie making materials plus very good quality felt and interlock (t-shirt material) in a flesh colour (or a white t-shirt dyed with tea). Sooz provides a sample template but really, you could create your own templates freehand as the shape of these dolls is quite simple and unfussy. The steps and accompanying pictures provide excellent detail and Sooz also guides you through how attach hair.

Hi there, I can’t work out how to get hold of tshirt material that looks like the face in the picture - any suggestions? I’d so like to make one of these dolls for my little boy

Thanks sooz! I used my own pattern based on yours and used 100% wool felt in bright pink for my daughter, and it turned out so cute! She just loves it and it’s seems to be really durable. I sometimes hesitate to use wool felt because I worry about it’s origin. Just a tip American felt and craft’s 100% wool comes from free range sheep.
