**Materials Needed:**
- **Knitting Needles:** You will need 4 double-pointed needles, choosing a size suitable for your yarn weight. For best results, opt for needles a size or two smaller than the yarn's recommendations, ensuring a firm and durable fabric. I recommend size 2.5 mm (US 2) for the doll and size 4 mm (US 6) for the clothing.
- **Yarn:**
- **Doll Body:** Cream acrylic yarn, such as Kartopu “Flora” (100% acrylic, 100g, 230m).
- **Jacket:** Pink colored yarn, like “Ibiza” (55% polyacryl, 45% baumwool, 50g, 140m).
- **Hair:** Brown colored yarn, for example, YarnArt “Jeans” (55% cotton, 45% pac, 50g, 160m).
- **Accessories:**
- **Beads:** A 6mm diameter bead (used for attaching the head to the body securely).
- **Hair Tress:** A 7 cm long tress of artificial hair, with a total length of 50 cm.
- **Toy Stuffing:** To give your doll a plush and cuddly feel.
- **Eyes:** Either plastic safety eyes or 2 buttons for a charming gaze.
- **Buttons:** 2 buttons for adorning the jacket.
- **Additional Materials:**
- **Tape:** 1 meter of tape for finishing touches.
