I was searching for knitting patterns and I ran across this knitted Malificent doll. I just had to share it!

That's awesome! Thanks!
Wait, the link to the body is no good anymore. Any thoughts?

Here's what I found, minus the photo (I can't get it to show up here). Is this what you were looking for? Let me know...

--------------------------
Doll of Maleficent from Disney’s Sleeping Beauty

I made this for a friend’s birthday. As I was absolutely terrified of Maleficent as a child (and still am a bit!), knitting the Mistress of All Evil was something of a cathartic experience! Though I’m still scared of her.

• 50g of black DK
• 50g of purple DK
• 50g of black cotton 4-ply
• Oddments of white, red and orange yarn.

That's the bit...here is a link on the site, but is a bad link now. I was just wondering if anyone knew how one would make the body - I'm not a knitter, I was printing the pattern out for my mom and wanted to be complete. Thanks!
