# Neat Knit Norwegian Dolls Scandinavian Home Decor Crafts By Ravenhill By TrendHead | Published 2009-05-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cute-norwegian-dolls-scandinavian-home-decor-crafts-by-ravenhill References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&listing_id=23766981) & [ravenhill.typepad](http://ravenhill.typepad.com/) I love these adorable [Scandinavian](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yrj-kukkapuro) [hand sewn dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inedible-doll) by Ravenhill. They remind me of my Danish childhood; I had one with brown nuances and it slept next to me for a long period of time. (I am not going to tell you until what age…) The pretty, sweet-faced dolls each have different names, like Mrs. Krogh or Mrs. Andersen. The fabrics and patterns are so cheerful and bright, perfect for your shelves, bedside table, child’s bed or any mantel piece. Ravenhill is an American mother who lives in Norway with her husband and two young children. She enjoys making all kinds of hand crafts - always busy [knitting, sewing, crocheting, embroidering](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-wren), beading, or making cards. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Scandinavian Handcrafted Decor:** Opportunity for artisans to create unique home decor pieces and tap into the growing trend of Scandinavian design. - **Personalized Dolls:** Opportunity to create unique, customized dolls for children and collectors that reflect their personality and style. - **Handmade Gifts:** Opportunity to create unique, handcrafted gifts that appeal to consumers looking for more personalized and thoughtful gifts. ### Where This Applies - **Handicrafts:** Handicrafts and craft stores can cater to the growing demand for handmade decor and gifts by offering a wider range of unique items. - **Toy Manufacturing:** Toy manufacturers can create new lines of personalized dolls that appeal to children and collectors who are looking for unique and personalized toys. - **Online Marketplaces:** Online marketplaces can feature a wider variety of handmade items as consumers increasingly seek unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Timber Tech-Packed Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teenage-engineering-wooden-dolls.md) - [Intricately Handcrafted Animal Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lulu-the-lamb.md) - [Danish Pastry-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-art-collection.md) - [DIY Embroidery Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-stitched-ornament-kits.md) - [Sculptural Knitted Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-knitted-objects.md) - [Sensorial Anime Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bedhedz.md) - [Cross-Cultural Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nordic-knots-x-giancarlo-valle-rug-collection.md) - [Adorably Decorated Slippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/embroidered-slippers1.md) - [Slow Living Decor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/livom.md)
