Gingerbread doll

Introducing our delightful knitted doll toy, perfect for both playtime and display! This charming doll features movable arms, rotating legs, and a head that can be repositioned, making it an interactive addition to your collection. It stands at approximately 6.3 inches (16 cm) tall, making it an ideal size for little hands or as a charming decorative piece.

To create your own knitted pebble doll, you will need the following materials: four double-pointed needles suitable for the yarn weight you choose. For best results, we recommend using needles that are one or two sizes smaller than what the yarn is labeled for, to ensure a firm and durable fabric. We used needles in size 2 (3mm) for the doll's main body, size 4 (3.5mm) for the clothing, and size 3 (2.5mm) for finer details.

For the body of the doll, you will need cream yarn from Special Stylecraft (100% acrylic, 304 meters / 100 grams) for a smooth finish, as well as white yarn from the same brand for highlights. Additional supplies include a plastic tube approximately 10 cm long to securely attach the head, neck, and body, toy stuffing to give your doll a soft and cuddly feel, and either plastic safety eyes or two buttons for the doll's eyes.

Don’t forget to gather a yarn needle, stitch holder, and a braid measuring 20-25 cm for decorative accents. A ribbon for the bow and charming snowflakes for additional decoration will give your doll its unique personality.
