Handkerchief Dolls

NO collection of make-believe would be complete without the

handkerchief doll.

Surely she is a simple child, just an ordinary handkerchief rolled from

each side toward the center, then the top turned down, and the corners

pulled out and tied around the body for arms, leaving a stuffy little

head at the top, and a long skirt at the bottom.

The handkerchief doll’s little brother is made to look a trifle

different from her, by having the lower corners of the handkerchief, of

which he is made, pulled out for feet.

Towel dolls are larger members of the same family.
