Other things I decide (at the time ) 😳 whether to use the larger needles (9) for the hat or to stay on the same size as the face (11). When I sew the line for the arms, I usually only sew for 8 rows and and same sort of decision making for the leg division. The feet I also sew different sizes as I feel the yarn warrants it. Sometimes gathered or just turned under.
Also, in case you’ve forgotten the i-cord pattern. Here it is again.
Maybe I can sleep now. Hopefully I’ve not missed any bits. 😇
Oops, I’ve just realised that I called it “my pattern”. The original pattern was from a clever lady in the district, who I think has now passed, but her daughter used to have a lovely craft shop where I bought lots of things several years ago. That shop has been closed for some time now. Anyway, I’ve obviously played with the original pattern over the years, so I hope I haven’t offended anyone who remembers the clever lady who invented it. 😱
Pat E, those dolls are so cute . I have been knitting for about sixty years . This is the first time I have come across I-cords. Thanks for posting the pattern .I will use it when I am toy making .
