Description from book:
My younger daughter is a baby doll aficionado. She enjoys a good play session with her collection, which contains every sort of doll imaginable, each with its own personality and purpose. She inspired me to knit up the perfect baby doll set -- and helped me with design.

The size her perfect for cuddling, as the dolls fits right in the crook of a child’s arm; it’s not too big or too small. Her hair is no-fuss and fun to make. Plus she can either sit or lie down.

I used the most fantastic organic cotton yarn to keep the doll extra special. The construction is simple, with minimal seaming at the end. The legs have a knee bend worked in, which is fun to knit. My daughter insisted on the sundress. ruffle pants, and hat. She also requested the matching hat for the baby’s mom, too!

Additional Gauge: 5.5 stitches = 1” in stockinette using US 5 (3.75mm) needles (for doll’s hat and sundress)

Suggested Colors: 2 skeins of Quebracho Bark #987, 1 skein each of Madder #980, Lipstick Tree #985, Yellowwood #984, and Natural #986
