Knitting Goldilocks

I have been thinking of little puppet stories to tell to my boys and others.
We have three great wooden bears.
Here Goldilocks is born:

Knit a rectangle:
Size 4 knitting needles
Cast On 12 stitches in skin color
Knit about 1 "
change color to dress color (pale pink) leave a long tail for use in sewing
Knit about 2 inches bind off.

Using tale of correct color thread gather top of head then sew down to neck.

Begin sewing with pink down to bottom of skirt. (tie knot but do not trim, if tail long enough use to close)

Stuff head with wool, then use yarn from neck and sew a running stitch to gather, then knot.

Stuff body then sew bottom shut with a running and gather stitch.

Add hair and hat or hood.

But Goldilocks turned into Violet the farmers daughter in our Harvest tail.
