Did you know? The May Day tradition of Maypole dancing is believed to have started in Roman Britain around 2,000 years ago – soldiers celebrated the arrival of spring by dancing around decorated trees, thanking their goddess Flora. We wanted to celebrate the custom with these cute amigurumi dancing dolls by Sarah-Jane Hicks. Featuring varied outfits and hairstyles, these mix-and-match characters are a joy to crochet.
