This is an all in one sleepsuit in double knitting yarn, with raglan shaping. The suit can be made with or without feet.
Short rows are used to shape the heel, and as Annabell is a ‘sitting down’ doll a lot of shaping is required for a good fit at the back. However, if your doll is not a ‘sitting down’ type which doesn’t need so much shaping, I have added instructions at the end of the body shaping, but, as all dolls are different, keep trying your knitting against your doll as you go.
You will need about 100g of dk, plus about 10g contrast for the footless version, plus 4 small buttons. I made the multi colour suit in King Cole Cherish and the blue suit in a double knit yarn I had in my stash.
