It is recommended to use needles a size or two smaller than the yarn suggests to create a firm fabric. For this pattern, I used US size 2½ (3mm) needles. - **Vanilla-colored yarn** for the head. I used Nako Baby Ho?geldin, which contains 60% bamboo and 40% polyamide - 100g yields 230m. - **Blue yarn** for the dress. I opted for Anchor Hera, designed with 4 threads together—85% acrylic and 15% mohair for a soft touch. - **White yarn** for additional details. - **Dark blue yarn** for the hair, ensuring a vibrant and playful look. - **Toy stuffing** to give your doll its lovable shape. - **Yarn needle** for seamless stitching. - **Stitch holder** to manage your work in progress. - **2 beads** for the eyes, adding charm and personality. - **2 prong snap buttons** for securely fixing the removable tail. This pattern is perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills while creating a one-of-a-kind toy.
