Billy and Bobbie-Jo are all bundled up and ready to make the most of winter’s magic together.

Billy pulls on his cozy bobble hat and matching scarf, while Bobbie-Jo snuggles into her soft, warm snowsuit. They’re dressed for laughter, play, and making special memories—just like many of us remember from winters past.

Both dolls are knitted flat in one piece, with the arms sewn on.

The pattern is designed so that knitters of all skill levels can join in—there’s no tricky shaping, and I’ve included simple, step-by-step guidance for every part, including the ssk decrease and changing colors. Whether you’re new to knitting or have years of experience, you’ll find this project welcoming and fun.

The hats, scarves, and hoods are all made separately, so you can choose to sew them on or leave them removable for even more play possibilities. If you’d like, you can add a sweet tuft of hair instead—my instructions are easy to follow, whichever option you pick. I love sharing little details like these that make gift-giving even more special.

I’ve included a handy tutorial that walks you through making tiny pom-poms—quick, easy, and sure to bring a smile. I hope you enjoy every stitch, and maybe even share the joy by gifting your finished dolls to someone you care about.
