A darling doll with broad appeal and a super fun knit for you. Baby and sleeper are knit complete, all in one piece and stuffed as you go-when you tie off the last leg she is done. No fiddly finishing to do!

Starting at the neck with provisional cast-on the head is knit first, face details are embroidered, the hair curl and flower knit and sewn to head. The stitches at neck are picked up, collar crocheted on using simple crochet stitches and the rest of the doll is knit top-down and in-the-round. Done!

Intermediate level: uses provisional cast-on, kitchener stitch, knitting-in-round, perfect for magic loop, duplicate stitch, french knots
