Plus, the doll's clothes can be easily removed for added fun and versatility! ### **Materials Needed:** - **Knitting Needles:** - You'll need 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you're using. For best results, I recommend using needles one or two sizes smaller than what the yarn suggests to produce a firm, durable fabric. For this project, I used size 2.5 mm (US size 2) needles for the doll and size 4 mm (US size 6) needles for her clothing. - **Yarn:** - Cream-colored acrylic yarn (Kartopu “Flora,” 100% acrylic, 100 g-230 m) for the doll’s body. - Black and white yarn (also from Kartopu “Flora,” 100% acrylic, 100 g-230 m) for various clothing items including her hat, dress, coat, and boots. - **Special Items:** - A plastic tube of about 10 cm in length to securely attach the head to the neck and body. - A ready-made doll wig, or you can use black yarn to create a custom wig. - Toy stuffing for a plush finish. - **Additional Details:** - 8 buttons for adorning the dress and hood. - Pieces of white and black felt for added embellishments. - Plastic eyes or 4 buttons (2 for the panda and 2 for the doll) to bring the face to life. This knitting pattern not only helps you create a delightful toy but also allows you to develop your knitting skills as you assemble a collection of accessories and clothing.
