A charming collection of 20 knitting patterns for baby comforter toys. The dolls are designed to be soft and squidgy so they can be held easily by little hands.

The 20 dolls include animals and people and a wide range of fun and colourful designs. Choose from one of the simpler designs, like the very simple Baby and Bird patterns, through to more complicated designs, like the King and the Fox.

The author has developed a clever technique in which the toys are knitted flat in a rectangle shape and then stitched into a tube shape before being stuffed and closed. At this point, any embroidery details on the clothes are added.

The arms, head, and waist, as well as features such as ears and antlers, are then defined with clever stitching. Step-by-step instructions and photographs show how to do this.

There are also instructions for picking up stitches from the initial ‘tube’ of knitting to create clothing details such as skirts, ruffles, and frills.

Knitters will love these small projects because they are perfect for using up your yarn stash. They only take small amounts of any colour, so you can have great fun deciding which colours to use for each outfit.

Some of the characters’ outfits include simple colourwork knitting, including the deer's stranded colourwork sweater and the boy's apple sweater. Large charts are provided for all of these designs, as well as for the simple lacework design for the mouse's skirt.

The author uses common embroidery stitches, such as satin stitch, French knots, and stem stitch, to add details to the clothes, such as buttons and decorative designs, and to create faces. Templates for these designs with instructions for how to transfer them to the clothing are included. There are also step-by-step instructions and diagrams for all the embroidery stitches used.

So, choose your favourite character and get started today. But be warned: knitting these dolls is addictive, and we guarantee that you won’t be able to stop at one!
