Don’t forget stuffing for the body, a pair of 4 mm (US size 6) knitting needles, and a tapestry needle to finish your project with precision.

When it comes to the dress, you'll require 25 g of sport weight yarn in your chosen main color (MC) and 10 g of sport weight yarn for a contrasting color (CC). To complete the dress, use 3 mm and 3.25 mm needles (US sizes 2.5 & 3), and choose either sets of double-pointed needles or long circular needles for the magic loop method.
