Knit doll clothes patterns?  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hi, I'm new here- My name is Kassandra I have a son, Solomon who is four and my daughter, Margo is 20 months.
I recently bought a Waldorf doll kit and I'm getting ready to get going on it. My plan is to have a nice doll, that looks like my daughter, with clothes, etc... in a nice little trunk/chest/box of some sort for her second b-day.
I bought the clothes pattern that went with the doll to sew up some clothes but I also knit and I really want to try knitting up some little sweaters and hats for the doll. I've been pretty successful in the past in locating patterns for things I've had my mind to make but for some strange reason I'm not coming up with much for dolls! Now one would think knitting clothes for Waldorf dolls would be natural (because I know knitting is part of the Waldorf curriculum) but the doll kit sites don't have patterns or even links for some reason. Which I find mighty peculiar! :
Any way, can any one help? Also any tips or pointers before I get going would be tremendously helpful as I've never done this before!
Thanks so much,
Kassandra

Thank you!

I'm making her a 13" doll but I should be able to size down a bit and see what happens. I love the first one- probably though just because that one has a nice photo.
I got the doll all cut out last night and ready to go. We are going to visit family next week, so I'm trying to get ready to take the doll with me to work on. I need to go get some flesh colored thread today and sew up the parts with my machine.
Any one with experience with hair? I have a Joy's doll kit which has directions for making a wig cap and sewing it on. I randomly found a blog the other day that said not to do this as it's not as sturdy for playing with. I purposely got her the sturdier hair for little hands and I want it to stay!
Thanks again,
Kassandra
