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

Product Information

Thread the end of the yarn tail through a yarn needle. Slide the needle through each stitch as you remove them from the knitting needle. Later, this will be pulled tight to gather the stitches. 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. Martin is approximately 34-35 cm from head to toe and approximately 20 cm when seated. He is made of soft wool yarn, good humour and love. You can use any other yarn you find suitable — Martin can come taller or smaller but still a lot of fun to knit and to become friends with.

Here’s a pattern to make a 13 inch (34 cm) doll with removable school pinafore and cardigan. You can make your own version with a different colored dress, hair, and skin tone. If you’ve got some young girls in your life – be it your sisters, daughters, nieces or a friend’s little ones – you can never make enough dolls. Also, if you never stopped adoring and wanting dolls, you know you want to make one that you can cherish forever. Scroll through the patterns shared above and see which one speaks to you on a personal level and maybe make a doll that will forever be your special creation. More Knitting Patterns

Christmas is right around the corner, but I’ve still got time to make a present or two. With two small nieces and girls of my own, a handmade doll or two are sure to be a winner. This sweet doll has a special surprise — flip her over to reveal two dolls in one! She’s definitely a rewarding creation too, and you’ll love the smile on the face of her recipient! 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. Sally is such a lovely doll with very stylish knitted hair. It is not for beginners although the instructions are quite detailed. If you’re going to knit your children some stylish doll’s dresses, would you rather make them something a little funkier and more unique looking than what you’ve seen in stores? After all, playing pretend with their dolls is a great time to get more creative in their clothing choices than just working with store bought options that mimc the same regular outfits they might find in their own shopping section. That’s why we thought this funny little ruffled dress, knit partially with mohair just for a cool change in texture, was such a cute idea!
