Little Sweethearts - knitted doll
Introducing our charming LITTLE SWEETHEARTS knitting pattern, designed specifically for creating soft, huggable first dolls perfect for your tiny tots! This delightful pattern for adorable bunting babies is inspired by beloved Waldorf dolls known for their warmth and simplicity. We’ve meticulously ensured that every part is securely attached, making these dolls safe for babies and young children to handle and love.
**SIZE:** The pattern allows you to craft two sizes of dolls— a small doll measuring 15cm (6in) and a larger option at 20cm (8in). Both sizes are perfect for little hands and make wonderful companions.
**PATTERN DETAILS:** Our pattern is exceptionally easy to follow, accompanied by numerous colorful pictures that guide you through every step of the knitting process. Each row is clearly numbered for your convenience. The pattern offers two gown styles: a straight-edge gown and a round-edge gown, along with two charming designs featuring stripes or heart motifs. This versatility allows for a unique touch to each doll you create!
**SKILLS REQUIRED:** To make these delightful dolls, you’ll need to be familiar with a few basic knitting skills: cast on, cast off (bind off), knit, purl, increase, and decrease. Whether you're a beginner looking to enhance your skills or an experienced knitter seeking a fun project, this pattern is suitable for all levels.
**NEEDLES:** The dolls are knitted on a pair of 3.25mm needles (US size 3), which makes the stitching process enjoyable and straightforward.
**YARN:** You’ll need only small amounts of DK (double knitting) yarn, which is baby-safe and washable. This yarn corresponds to light worsted weight in the USA and 8 ply in Australia, ensuring that your finished product is soft against your child's delicate skin and easy to clean.
Whether you’re making a special gift for a birthday or just because, these LITTLE SWEETHEARTS dolls make the perfect handmade treasures.
