This doll is worked in the round on size 4 needles using a DK weight yarn. The dress is worked on size 2 needles using fingering weight yarn. The shoes are knitted with size 1 needles. All gauges are given in the pattern. This is a great pattern for using up odd bits of yarn. The doll herself only uses 160 yards of DK weight. You will need smaller amounts of fingering weight for the dress and shoes and also need an appropriate hair-like yarn. I used a slightly fuzzy ball of grey and white streaked wool. On my blog I have detailed instructions and pictures showing how I sewed on the hair. Please see alittleragdoll.blogspot.com.
