whoops

oooh i have found some doll patterns anyone know if they will be ok ???

have you looked on some of the free websites?

I don't have any prem patterns (or many tiny baby ones really) but have a look on eg knitty.com

also some of the prem units often supply patterns for people to knit eg hats for them

Lots here

depending on how chunky the wool is / needles are on the original pattern, you could just knit the pattern with the same stitches etc, but on finer wool and smaller needles. i've done this before on a pattern and it worked out fine. disadvantage is that you don't know what size it will end up other than just smaller!

ty lots everyone

send me your address and ill send you some copies i have a few x
