About
These dolls were created with great respect and gratitude for all of the medical professionals who are working so tirelessly to keep us safe during this difficult time.

Construction
Friendly M.D. Dolls are knit in one piece from the bottom-up. The doll’s body can be knit flat on straight needles and seamed, or knit in the round on dpns. The optional face mask is knit flat on two needles. Details are added with duplicate stitch and simple sewing techniques are used to define the arms and legs after knitting.

Gauge
Exact gauge is not important;Choose a needle 2 or 3 sizes smaller than recommended on the ball band to create a dense fabric that will keep the stuffing hidden
