Lilly and May dolls have new outfits for the spring.

Lilly doll has a pretty dress and matching cardigan with picot edging to the sleeves and skirt hem, her outfit has a contrast stripe detail at the hems.

May doll wears a two-tone dress with stripes on the skirt, and a smart matching cardigan with contrast trim.

You can choose between knitted-in socks and shoes (socks and shoes are knitted as part of the leg and not removeable) or bare feet, in which case you can knit sweet little shoes to change with their outfits.

Their knitted hair with co-ordinated hair bows is very simple to do, and of course it will never become untidy!

Both the dolls and their clothes are knitted flat on standard straight needles and seamed. Basic stitches are uses throughout for the dolls, which are knitted from the head down, the arms and hair are knitted and sewn on later.

Make one and yarn over stitches are used in the clothes patterns.

This pattern includes
Lilly and May doll (optional bare feet or added shoes)
Picot edge dress and matching cardigan,
Stripe dress and matching contrast edge cardigan,
All in one socks and shoes.
