Lovely doll suit
with a cute snowman pattern

As I had started my knitting, I decided to knit a little pattern round the top with snowmen. As we are close to winter here now I thought, WHY not? The sleeves are knitted in a rib.

Both sleeves and legs are nice folded up.

A sneak peek at the pattern ...

Hedda’s suit
1st leg:
Cast on 50 sts and knit 1 row.  Continue knitting rib, k1, p1 alternatively across rows until work measures 5 cm before knitting 2 rows st st.  On next row do the following increases: K9, increase 1 sts in every second sts until 10 sts are left on row, k10. (= 66 sts on row).  Continue knitting 5 rows st st.  Put work aside and knit the other leg in the same way.
Continue knitting both legs onto 4 double pointed ndls or a little circular ndl and continue knitting 2 rows st st over all sts.  Place a marker for center front and center back. Always begin row from center back.  Do the following decreases: K1, k2tog, knit until 3 sts before center front, k2tog TBL, k2, k2tog, knit until 3 sts before center back, k2tog TBL, k1.  Repeat these decreases every 3rd row 3 times altog = 120 sts on row.  Continue knitting st st.  When work measures 13 cm knit the dress back longer like this: K20, turn, p40, turn, k30, turn, p 20 and continue knitting st st over all sts until work measure 14 cm.  On next row decrease 10 sts along the center front.  Knit like this: K50, k2tog 10 times, k50.  Continue knitting st st and garter sts over these 10 center sts until 10 ridges are knitted on the RS altog.  Knit 1 row.  On next row increase 1 sts in every of these 10 center sts = 120 sts on row in total.  Knit 1 row.  On next row do the following decreases for the armholes: K22, cast off 6 sts, k44, cast off 6 sts, k22.  Put work aside and knit the sleeves.
Sleeves: Cast on 32 sts and knit 1 row.  Continue knitting a rib, k1, p1 alternatively across rows 8 rows altog before knitting 4 rows ga = 2 ridges on the RS. Continue knitting 2 rows st st inside 2 sts ga at each side = edge sts.  On next row increase 8 sts evenly on row inside edge sts.= 40 sts on row.  Continue knitting rib and ...

Then I knitted a white hat to wear together with this suit.

A little blue pattern and blue edges together with a crocheted blue bow at the top was nice as belongings.

A sneak peek at the pattern ...

Hat

At last, I knitted these socks/shoes as belongings. More like socks than like shoes I think. A sneak peek at the pattern ... Socks/shoes Cast on 40 sts in blue and knit 3 rows ga.  Change to white and knit 2 rows st st inside 2 sts ga at each side = edge sts.  On next row knit a row of eyelets inside edge sts, k2tog, yon alternatively across row.

I think my doll looked different and nice in these new doll clothes.

Nice clothes for both dolls I think. Both for Sophia and for Baby born.

I hope you too will like these clothes too and want to knit them for your doll! Good luck with your knitting! Regards Målfrid
