A cat, a woodpecker and a skunk — three animals that share almost no construction.

Who is in the set

Three in the Sheriff Callie''s Wild West crochet doll set: Sheriff Callie, Peck and Priscilla Skunk.

Three animals, three builds

A cat, a bird and a skunk have nothing in common structurally. The bird is built around a beak that has to hold its point without stiffening; the skunk carries a tail bigger than its body, which has to be stuffed lightly enough not to drag the doll over; the cat is the only one of the three with an ordinary silhouette.

The hat

Callie''s hat brim is worked flat and shaped rather than stuffed, for the same reason Mary Poppins'' is — a soft brim folds down over the face within a week of being handled.

Which size

8 inches suits the three together. The skunk is the one that gains most from going larger, because the tail is the whole doll.

Where they come from

A cat keeps the peace in a small western town with a magic lasso, helped by a woodpecker deputy and a skunk who runs the shop. Disputes are settled by talking, not shooting.

Three animals, three completely different builds — which is why a three-doll set here is more work than a three-doll set of people.
