Lili Cuddly Doll
By Louise Lamarche This lovelydoll measures 34cm and isknit in the round in one piece with the arms joined along as you knit. Stuffing is added as you go so that once you close off the neck and sew a few stitches to close the underarm seam you are practically done. Requires handstitching to secure the join between legs and body and attach the head to the body. The hair is also sewed on. A bit of embroidery for the eyes, nose and mouth. A photo tutorial is included. Skills required are knitting in the round with the magic loop method or 5 DPNs, short-rows (though complete instructions are provided in pattern) and a knowledge of a toe-up sock technique. There are links to video tutorial to assistyou. The pattern also includes a dress with two different stitch patterns, ballerina shoes and a headscarf/shawl. All accessoriesareremovable.
Material:
Light DK or Sport yarn for legs - kaki and cream (dotted legs) grey & cream (striped legs) Rowan Siena 4 ply or 4 ply cotton for head, upper body and arms - cream or skin color 2.75mm circular needle, 80 cm long or 5 DPNs Markers Tapestry needle Toy filling 7mmbutton Do not worry if the skin color is too light, once you have finished the doll before making up the face and hair, you can dip all cotton pieces in a bowl of infused tea or strong coffe - a few seconds wil suffice. Let dry before finishing.
LEGSANDBODY
You will start at the toe preferably using one of the methods for making the toe-up socks. I prefer the closed toe caston, but most people prefer Judy's magic cast-on - see video links. If you choose to do a regular cast on, you may sew up the toe later on. Closed toe cast-on: http://vimeo.com/4551095 Judy's magic cast-on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkyd3nq3Yn8 With 2.75mm, cast on 14 sts.

Knit 1 cm CC - put stitches on hold and cut thread
Knit second leg - do not cut thread
Fill legs with fiber leaving 1cm on top unfilled. = about 8.5 cm in circonference
Joining legs tobody
Making sure that both legs are facing towards the front: Knit the 11 sts on front of second leg, puling tightly knit the 11 sts on front of first leg . With the magic loop, knit the 11 sts on the back of the first leg, pulling tightly knit the 11 sts on the back of the second leg. = 44 sts Knit until work measures 5 cm from join. Purl one decrease row: \*P3, P2T\*(8 times), P4= 36 sts. Cut thread and put on stitch holder. Make sure legs are stuffed upto 1 cm from body join. With CC yarn, thread a tapestry needle and back stitch the join of the legs with the body. This will secure the legs and make sure that they bend.
Arms With same method as the toes, Cast on 8 sts. R1-2: knit R3: \*K 1, M1, K2, M1, K1 \* repeat = 12 sts R4-5: knit R6: \*K 1, M1, K4, M1, K1 \* repeat = 16 sts R7-8: knit R9: K1, M1, K1, M1, K12, M1, K1, M1, K1 = 20 sts R10: knit R11: K1, M1, K18, M1, K1 = 22 sts R 12: knit R 13: Slip 1 knitwise, K2T, pass slipped stitch over, K16, K3T = 18 sts R 14: knit E15: K2T, K14, K2T = 16 sts Knit until vou reach 8 cm. w for left arm: K2, bind off 4 sts, knit to end leaving a 20 cm tail for underarm sear Last row for right arm: K10, bindoff 4 sts, knit to end leaving a 20 cm tail for underarm seam. ;tuff the arm, shaping the hand, leaving 1 cm unstuffed. About 6.5cm circonferenci
Top of Body:
With the legs facing forward, join the cotton yarn and knit in the round = 36 sts. At 8 cm from leg join, K16, bind off 4, K14 (including stitch on needle from the bind off), bind off 4 finishing the bind off at the beginning of the next row = 28 sts (14 each side).
Joining the arms to body:
R 1: K14 body front (including stitch on needle from the bind off), K12 from right arm starting with the 1st after the bind off (make sure thumb is towards the front), K14 body back, K12 left arm starting with the 1t after the bind off = 52 sts Distribute evenly on each needle making a loop in the middle of each shoulder to prevent pulling at arm join. R 2: Place marker and join in the round - knit to end R3: K13, K2T, K10, K2T, K12, K2R, K10, remove marker, K2T. Place marker = 48 sts R 4: K2T all around = 24 sts R 5: K R 6: K Stuff the body to desired thickness (my doll has a circonference of about 16.5 cm) and make sure the arms are stuffed up to 1cm of body opening. R 7: K2T all around = 12 sts. Before closing off, stuff top portion quite fully to hold the head. Cut thread and insert through the remaining stitches, pull to close the opening and secure with thread. Sew the underarm seam.
Head
With 2.75mm circular needle and body yarn, CO 18 sts. Join and knit one round. On row 2: K F/B of every stitch = 36 sts. At 9 cm: K2Tog all around = 18 sts. Knit one row. Cut thread and insert through the remaining stitches. DO NOT PULL THREAD
Note: if the color you have chosen for the skin is too pale, now is the time to dye it. Soak a tea sachet in a bowl of warm water, let it infuse a few seconds. Immerse the unfilled head and the filled top of the body PLUS 8O CM OF YARN TO SEW UP HEAD AND NOSE and soak 30 sec. Rinse. If the color is not dark enough, soak the tea bag again and repeat. For a warmer skin tone, try soaking in coffee. This photo shows the color of the yarn I used and the color of the body after dipping in tea. Fill the head (circonference about 7.5 inches). Pull the thread to close the opening and secure. Choose your nicer side for the face. Sew the head to the body. Pass your needle in the 3rd row of the head and about4 or 5th row on the body so that it does not wobble; it will still move.
Face Lay doll flat on its back on a hard surface. Lay a measuring tape from side to side and put a pin in the middle of the face. Measure from top of head to neck and reposition the pin so that it is in the center of the head (should be about 4 cm from neck). Place a pin at a distance of about 2cm each side of middle pin for the eyes. Once you have embroidered the eyes, the distance between the eyes should be about 3 cm.
To make the eye socket, cut two black threads of 4ply or one thread DK about 30 cm long. Make two or three knots, one on top of the other in the middle. Thread one end in a long needle and push it on the right side of the pin all the way to the back of the head - thread the other end of the yarn and push it on the left side of the pin all the way to the back of the head. Pull slightly and tie ends together in the back of the head. Do the same for the other eye. If you are pleased with the eye socket, just tighten the back ends. Do not cut yet.
To embroider the eyes, use one thread of black fingering yarn and do some back stitches over the eyes to make a sort of lid - the doll's eye measures 1 cm wide by 1 cm high. Back stitch from top to bottom reducing the width of the stitches. Lose that thread by inserting needle through the head exiting at the back. Attach to the other threads. Cut to 2.5 cm.
If you wish a nose and mouth: nose starts at the same level as the bottom of the eyes and is about .5cm wide and .5cm high. Back stitches with one thread of the face yarn for the nose and pink or red for mouth. Bottom of the mouth is located at 2 cm below the top of the nose - sides slightly up - total width is 1 cm. Blush the cheeks with the side of a coloringpencil.
Hair
Crafty Sheep has a great tutorial on how to make the doll hair and fix it to the head. This is the method I have used. http://starrysheep.com/crafty/?p=103 The yarn gauge makes a big difference -I have used 4 ply yarn - if you use DK or worsted divide the wraps by 2. I did 45 wraps of 4ply yarn around a book that measured 24 cm. Gently remove from the book and lay the wrapped yarn on a tissue paper. Separate the wraps so that they measure about 20 cm wide (the wrap side) and 12 cm high in the middle. If you see some space between the wraps, add some more yarn. Find the middle and place a masking tape on each side of middle from top to bottom; this will hold the hair in place.
If you are sewing this on your sewing machine, put a tissue paper over this and sew along the middle between both tapes. Remove paper and tape. If you are sewing this by hand, gently remove the wraps from the tissue paper but keep the tape on.
1. Pin the hair on the head just above the forehead. Sew with back stitches, all the way down the middle from front to back (rounds strands on sides of head) - (if you have not used a sewing machine, make small stitches to capture all strands) - go over a second time.
2. Arrange the hair neatly. You may cut the wraps or keep them. You need to sew the hair around the head at eye level on the side and slightly lower in the back to hide the black threads. You need to sew all the wraps so that there is no white spot showing; bring strands from the side to cover the middle back. Pin into place, trying to shape the hair in a nice curve along the sides of the forehead. nother layer of 45 wraps and proceed as above with a seam on top of the head onl

Bangs: about 12 to 20 wraps around a book that measured 15 cm. Proceed as above, but do not tape in the middle, move to have 1/3 of the measurement on one side and 2/3 on the other side.Place this on the head from front to back - making the 1/3 match the beginning of the hair piece that you have already sewn into place (small round strands in front to form the bangs and the longer strands towards the back to hire the first hairpiece seam). Cut to shape.

Assembling the shoulders
Do a three needle bind off. You may wish to view this video to assist you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpJUrcX52DU Slip the right back shoulder stitches on a needle (same size or smaller than the one you are using). Turn your right side shoulder so that the back of the work is facing you, your working thread should be coming from the right. Take the right back shoulder needle and turn it so that the right side of work is facing the right right side of work of the right front. With both needles touching, insert working needle in first stitch of front needle and in the first stitch of the back needle, knit the two together and remove. You have one stitch on the right needle. Repeat with both second stitches, two stitches on the right needle, pass the first stitch on the right needle over this new stitch. One cast off. Repeat to end. Do the same on the other shoulder.
Finishing
Lose your threads. Block. If you want to tame the frill, pass a ribbon or a double stranded yarn in the eyelet and pull to even out the frill. Sew a small button. Weave a ribbon or double folded yarn in the eyelets at the bottom of the dress

Assembling the shoulders
Do a three needle bind off. You may wish to view this video to assist you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpJUrcX52DU Slip the right front shoulder stitches on a needle (same size or smaller than the one you are using). Turn your left back shoulder so that the wrong side of the work is facing you. Take the right front shoulder needle and turn it so that the right side of work is facing the right right side of work of the left back. With both needles touching, insert working needle in first stitch of front needle and in the first stitch of the back needle, knit the two together and remove. You have one stitch on the right needle. Repeat with both second stitches, two stitches on the right needle, pass the first stitch on the right needle over this new stitch. One cast off. Repeat to end.Do the same on the other shoulder.
Finishing
Lose your threads. Block. Sew a small button.
