Meet Karl. Karl with a K. He's a cuddly, huggable doll - who's tough as nails when he slips on his cape and mask.

My daughter pointed out that you could use the same pattern to make a companion Bad Guy - she suggested dressing him in black and white stripes, giving him a frown instead of a smile, adding stubble to his chin, and giving him a black mask and no cape. Brilliant!

I see myself as a beginner/intermediate sewer and this doll was very fun to make. Instructions are super detailed and I did not even need to check out the video links included. There is a personalised feel to the instructions which makes it seem like the seller is right there with you the whole way. I think as long as you can work basic stitches on a sewing machine, you can definitely give this pattern a try!

Loved ha a choice for a boy doll

This doll is adorable. I chose not to make the cape and the mask as I was just looking for a simple doll. I particularly loved the cowlick and the tiny ears! I'm not sure the almost two year old grandson that I made it for was totally enthralled by it but I do know his older sister will play with it if he doesn't! Previous patterns I bought I would rate as 100% clear directions. I would rate this one 95% clear. There wasn't a pattern for every piece - instructions to cut out the sleeves and the shorts involve me having to find a measuring tape and do it myself rather than the ease of being able to cut around a paper pattern.
I was nervous at first about top stitching the hair pieces but went for it and it turned out just fine. I would have appreciated a little guidance on what colors of thread look best on different hair colors. I used yellow felt and a light tan colored thread but it's almost invisible to the naked eye. I now wish I would have used a darker thread for more contrast.
