Knit Your Own Dolls: Over 35 patterns for dolls and their outfits, accessories, and pets

Product Information

Worked in DK knitting yarn, you could easily change the colors you use or use up leftover DK yarns that you already have in your stash. This is a great way to personalize the design if you knitting for a child. Why not change the hair, skin and eye colors to match the little one you are knitting for? Tetyana seems to think that even beginners can make her dolls as she starts off her book with the basic techniques like how to hold the needles, cast-on, knit, and purl stitches. If you want to make an amigurumi doll but don’t know where to start, this pattern is perfect for you. This lovely basic doll knitting pattern is around 33cm (13 inches) tall. You can knit this doll in any color of yarn you choose, add any clothes and hair you choose and make this doll a creation of your own. Dress up the dolls you have in some shabby chic knit dresses with this pattern. These are so cute with really nice detailing, so you can make multiple little cuties in all your favorite colors. It would be perfect if you made those in colors matching with the favorite outfits of the doll’s little caretaker, so they can both twin and slay!

This free version does not contain instructions for the arms. It is possible to work it out yourself if you have already done other doll projects. Just the right sizes to hold knitting needles, crochet hooks, small scissors, cottons and threads, stitch holders and markers, tape measures, pens and pencils. The list is endless. Her chić hairstyle is also a pincushion to hold your pins and sewing needles safely.

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. 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!
