Knitterbees’ Miffy Knitting Pattern Image source: knitterbees.blogspot.com These dolls love playing in the garden among the flowers, especially those that match their hair and clothing.

The easiest dolls are knit one leg at a time, then joined to knit the body and the head all as one piece. The arms are knie separately and joined to the body. These are great for beginners, especially if they are knit flat, as several of the dolls in our pattern collection are. Stitch the arm to the doll. Since young children might decide to chew on an arm, I always double sew an arm on for extra safety.Perhaps your kids’ very favourite game to play with their dolls is one in which the dolls become beautiful, elegant princesses rather than just regular little girls? Well, we’re sure there are probably plenty of store bought princess dresses out their for popularly sized dolls, but none of them will have as much breathtaking detail and care put into their making as something you created yourself. We’d definitely suggest taking a look at how ABC Knitting Patterns did this beautifully stitched princess gown embellished across the bodice with tiny pearled beads. 4. Matching textured beret and poncho Free knitting pattern for aLattice Look Shawl for a Tiny Tears or similar sized 16" doll to add that touch of class to a summer evening. The patterning of the holes produces a distinctive row like effect reminiscent of the lattice fence work popular in many gardens

Simple sewing techniques are used to define the arms and legs after knitting. Fast and fun to knit, these dolls are designed to be sturdy, safe, and perfect for even the littlest hands to hold. Are your kids the kind of avid doll lovers who actually take their very favourite dolls absolutely everywhere, dressing them each morning in an outfit that’s fit for what you’re all doing that day? Then we think you’ll probably be in need of at least a few casual outfits for down days where your little ones and their toy friends will simply be watching movies, rather than having elaborate imaginary adventures! That’s why we couldn’t resist including this completely adorable knitted lounger suit featured in detail on Doll Knitting Patterns. 10. Classic doll cardigan Pull the yarn tail at the top of the head that was slipped through the stitches. By pulling it tightly, you will gather the top of the doll’s head. The knit head should be wrinkle free. If you have wrinkles around the top of the head, try adding a little more stuffing. When satisfied, tie it off. Note: On the larger dolls you might create a “hole” in the top of the head. If so, simply sew the hole closed by making little stitches across the hole.

It is possible to work it out yourself if you have already done other doll projects. My original plan was to make a gnome family and realized they made a perfect, all purpose, doll body. I have made gnome hats but was saving the directions for a different post. I’ll try to get them posted next week. IMPORTANT: Leave long yarn tails (12″– 18″ depending on the size of the doll) when you cast on or when you cut yarns. These will be used for sewing up the dolls.

Thank you so much for this pattern! I love it! I was searching all over for the perfect pattern! I am making an elf for elf on the shelf for my kids for Christmas time! I had no idea even where to begin! I am really a beginner, I have made a lot of blankets and scarves, and tried my hand at a few other things, but this is one i really love! 🙂 I wanted to make it a bit more elf-y, so i made the legs longer and the body short… i did the legs 30, he body 24, and the head 20 (i think, i dont remember how many i did the head) … its not quite finished yet though, and i will add a face and a gnome hat from that pattern you made, though i may add a mini pom to the hat, and i left the tail really long on the head so if i change my mind and want it slightly bigger i can…I also did the bottom of the legs white and then changed to red. i think it is REALLY cute! Like i said i wouldnt have even known where to start, so thank you for sharing your wonderful pattern it is so clear and simple! i am self taught and this was so perfect! I have a feeling i will have many requests once this one is done! And i will definitely be making more as i have a daughter as well as several nieces. i am sure they would love a dolly! Pull the yarn tail at the top of the head that was slipped through the stitches. By pulling it tightly, you will gather the top of the doll’s head. The knit head should be wrinkle free.

Note: On the larger dolls you might create a “hole” in the top of the head. If so, simply sew the hole closed by making little stitches across the hole. Many of these dolls can be worked with any weight yarn, the key is to choose the correct knitting needle size so your stuffing doesn’t show through.
