Here’s a cozy bedtime clothes pattern designed just for Lilly and May dolls—perfect for winding down after a day of play and snuggling up together.
Lilly is dressed in a sweet nightgown trimmed with simple lace edging (the lace or picot edge is knitted as you cast off), and she has her own lacy knickers. May prefers plain underwear, keeping things classic and comfy.

May adores her pyjama set with its cheerful contrast trim, and both girls love to snuggle up in their cozy dressing gowns and slippers. May goes for the plain slippers, while Lilly can’t resist her pink bunny pair.

Their knitted hair, finished off with matching bows, is simple to make—and it always stays perfectly neat, no matter how much fun they have!

Both the dolls and their clothes are knitted flat using standard straight needles and then seamed. You’ll use basic stitches throughout, working the dolls from the head down, and adding the arms and hair at the end for a classic handmade finish.

This pattern includes the dolls, nightdress, pyjamas, dressing gown and slippers.
