Discontinued. This digital pattern is no longer available online.

This pattern has been discontinued whilst I update the doll pattern. I’m working as fast as I can , however it may take a while.

Jesse and Josie will have a sleepy bedtime with theses traditional stripy pyjamas, a snuggly soft Bathrobe with matching slippers and a Teddy to cuddle.

This 12-page pattern includes clear instructions with photo tutorials to make both Jesse and Josie dolls, their Time for Bed outfits and their teddy bear.

The Dolls
Jessie and Josie are each knitted with head, body, legs and feet worked as one 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 as one piece and sewn into place after stuffing.

The Clothes
The pyjamas are knitted edge to edge using simple stripes and basic shaping.
The bathrobe has a shawl collar with a tie belt and matching slippers.
