Medieval monks lived in monasteries and followed a strict disciplined routine. Those who chose the monastic life had to renounce their worldly goods & way of life to spend their daily lives worshipping, reading & performing manual labour. 

Jobs included: 
- Washing & cooking for the monastery
- Farming & growing food
- Making wine, ale & honey
- Providing medical care for the wider community 
- Educating boys & novices
- Copying manuscripts
- Welcoming & providing hospitality to pilgrims

Since a teenager, I have been an avid fan of the Brother Cadfael books by the author Ellis Peters, so designing a monk has been on my list for quite a while. This doll is 14cm tall, knitted in double knitting wool & worked flat. There are many different monk outfits, but I have decided to leave off the hood on this design to show the classic medieval monk hairstyle. The pattern is easy, and suitable for beginners.
