Knit up this lovable Ballerina for yourself or for loved ones to cuddle and play with! The little dancer has on outfit with puffed sleeves and a double layer tutu, with crochet straps on her slippers. There is no tricky colour-work in this pattern, merely simple stripes (changing colour at the end of the row). The hair cap is knitted separately and sewn onto the head. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz using acrylic DK yarns, the doll is knitted flat on single pointed needles. A third single pointed needle is required to work a three needle bind off for the tutu.
