FINISHED TOY DETAILS If you are using the materials I am suggesting the final size of the toy is going to be approximately 32 cm from head to toe (12.6”) and approximately 21 cm (8.3”) when seated. She can sit without support. She has bending arms and knees. Please note that you can use any yarn color. The materials suggested in this pattern will help you create the doll that will be identical to the one in the photos. You can use any other yarn you find suitable - Doll can come taller or smaller but still a lot of fun to knit and to become friends with. I recommend using needles a size or two smaller than the yarn calls for, to produce a firm fabric.

You can use acrylic yarn. The thicker yarn you use, the bigger toy you will get.
