The Hansel- and Gretel clothing is inspired by some old doll clothes I found at my grandma’s house. Both the playsuit and the dress is knitted on needles 5.0 in for example Drops Air, which gives a super soft, light and fluffy result, Drops Big Merino which gives a firmer and «smoother» piece of clothing, or even Drops Paris if what you want is a more summery version. Just because I hate sewing I made this pattern seamless, which makes it much easier and a lot more fun to knit!
