Jesse and Josie are best friends.

They are big enough for rough and tumble games, but small enough to cuddle at bedtime.

Their hair will always look good, I’ve included a photo tutorial in the pattern to show how I add it.

Jessie wears a stripy hat and sweater with long trousers and shoes.

Josie wears a bobble hat, single stripe sweater, Capri length trousers and shoes.

My clear and detailed 12-page pattern is full of photos and information to guide you through every stage of knitting, stuffing, adding hair and finishing Jesse, Josie and their 2 outfits.

Jessie and Josie’s head, body, legs and feet are knitted from the top down as one flat piece; there is a centre back seam from the crown of the head to the start of the legs. The legs have a seam on the inner side and the feet have a seam along the middle of the sole. The arms and hands are knitted in one piece and sewn into place after stuffing
