Iv’e given instructions for single point needles, but the dress can easily be adapted to knit in the round. I knit the yellow dress and socks on 4mm circular needles which worked well

The sleeves are made first, then the dress in one piece to armhole shaping, the pieces are then joined to knit the yoke. There is a small back opening for ease of fit.

There are two patterns for the socks; one on spnds and the other dpns. I found the pattern easier to write this way and avoids confusion.

The socks are quite short but can easily be lengthened by adding a few more rows or a rib.

You will need 100g main and 20g contrast dk yarn. The dress and socks together weigh 60g. I used Stylecraft Special which is a great budget yarn for doll’s clothes

Although I called it a Festive dress (its that time of the year) it looks good in other colours such as the yellow dress.
