Today I am knitting a small doll,then will make her dress.

This is very simple,         enjoy,

she is 5inches tall so ideal for a dolls house...


LEGS (make 2)
Cast on 10 stitches and st st  20 rows.

DONT cast off,  cut wool long enough to thread threw the stitches and gather up and tie,this will be the foot.

ARMS ( make 2)

Cast on 10 stitches and st st 14 rows ,finish the same as the foot on the leg.

BODY AND HEAD.

Cast on 20 stitches ,if you want to do knickers then change to the colour of your  choice,and st st for 8 rows the 2 rows in single rib.

Continue in your choice of skin colour  for about 2 inches in st st.

Now knit 2 then knit 2 tog to end of row.

On these remaining stitches continue until head is about 1 inch,finish off the same as the leg and arm pulling tight.


Stuff with a safe fibre stuffing all the parts,dont over stuff.

Sew with wool the base of the body,then attach the legs and arms with same colour wool.

At the decrease neck edge,with matching wool wind round and pull tight and tie to make neck,sew ends into body.

This is where I am at at this moment and now design what you wish your doll to wear.

I will put a picture on when my dolls dress ect is finished,,,,,good luck......
