Construction

Witchy Friends 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. After knitting, the skirt and hat are worked from stitches picked up around the doll’s waist and head. Simple sewing and embroidery techniques are used to add detail after knitting.

Gauge

Exact gauge is not important. I recommend choosing a needle 2 or 3 sizes smaller than recommended on the ball band to create a dense fabric that will keep the stuffing hidden.
