I make a lot of amigurumi, which I normally crochet. I was showing off one of my creations to a knitter, who lamented that she couldn’t crochet herself and thus couldn’t make cute amigurumi like mine. I couldn’t help but think, “Challenge accepted!” and the Heartilly Doll was born!

This doll is knit from the top of the head to the toes in one piece. A separate hair cap is knitted and sewn on, and hair is placed using a crochet hook.

Measurements are given in both inches and centimeters, with the number of rounds to be knit included as well.

This pattern has been test knit.
