Izzy Dolls, Dolls of Joy, Comfort Dolls…. these little hand-knitted dolls bring happiness to the world’s poorest children and children in need. The idea of “Comfort dolls” began with “Izzy dolls” – created by Carol Isfeld and named in memory of her son, Master Cp. Mark Isfeld who was killed in 1994 while removing landmines during the third tour of UN duty in Croatia. Many humanitarian organizations now assist with distributing these dolls and all agree that they can never be used for financial gain. For the past two decades, Canadian soldiers and health care workers have given out more than 1.3 million of the tiny toys to children in war-torn countries and regions affected by natural disaster. Help knit or crochet this national gift of peace, the Izzy Doll. Find instructions on how to make the Izzy Doll at the back of this book. Additional info at www.izzydoll.ca and at
