BODY:
= 12 sts from each leg. Slip sts from legs back on double pointed needles and work them tog with dec towards each other with light ice blue = 24 sts on round. NOTE: Round beg and ends on the back. Then work as follows:
ROUND 1: * 2 sts, inc 1 st in next st *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 32 sts (8 inc sts on round).
ROUND 2 (and then on every even numbered round): K all sts.
ROUND 3: * 3 sts, inc 1 st in next st *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 40 sts.
ROUND 5: * 4 sts, inc 1 st in next st *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 48 sts.
ROUND 6-12: K all sts.
ROUND 13 and 14: P all sts.
On next round switch to light peach and then K all sts for 12 rounds. NOTE: Insert a marker in the middle of each side of body, move the markers upwards when working. * Work next round as follows: Dec 1 st - READ DECREASE TIP 2 - on each side of every marker (= 4 dec sts on round), K 1 round *. Repeat from *-* 1 more time = 40 sts. On next round, cast off as follows: Cast off 1 st on each side of every marker, work until 1st cast off = 36 sts remain. Do not cut the thread.
SHOULDER AND HEAD:
= 18 sts from back of body, 18 sts from front of body and 10 sts from each arm. Slip sts from arms back on double pointed needles. NOTE: Insert a marker in the middle of each arm (after 5 sts = middle of the side), move the markers upwards when working. Then work arms and body tog with armhole cast offs towards each other = 56 sts on round. K 1 round.
* On next round dec for shoulder as follows: Dec 2 sts - READ DECREASE TIP 2 - on each side of every marker (= 8 dec sts on round), K 1 round *. Repeat from *-* a total of 4 times = 24 sts remain on round.
Then inc for head as follows: * K 2, inc 1 st in next st *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 32 sts, K 1 round. Work next round as follows: * K 3, inc 1 st in next st *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 40 sts. Continue to K all sts for 16 more rounds. Then cast off as follows:

ROUND 7: Work all sts tog 2 by 2 = 8 sts, cut the thread and pull thread through the 8 sts, tighten tog and fasten.
ASSEMBLY:
Embroider eyes at the front of head with brown and mouth with medium pink. Sew tog the openings under the arms and between the legs.
JUMPER:
Worked first in the round and then back and forth on double pointed needles. Cast on 50 sts on double pointed needles size 3.5 mm with raspberry.
ROUND 1: P all sts.
ROUND 2-7: K all sts. NOTE: Insert a marker at beg of round and a marker after 25 sts (= middle of each side), move the markers upwards when working.
ROUND 8: K all sts but dec 1 st - READ DECREASE TIP 2 - on each side of every marker = 46 sts (4 dec sts on round).
ROUND 9-13: K all sts.
ROUND 14: K all sts but dec 1 st on each side of every marker = 42 sts.
ROUND 15-19: K all sts.
Now divide the piece at the markers and finish each part separately.
BACK PIECE:
= 21 sts. Then continue to work back and forth on needle. Cast on 5 sts at beg of the first 2 rows = 31 sts (1st row = RS). Continue in stocking st but work the outermost 2 sts in each side in GARTER ST - read explanation above. When 7 rows have been worked, work next row from WS as follows: K 2, P 8, K the next 11 sts - AT THE SAME TIME cast off the middle 7 sts, finish with P 8 and K 2 = 2 sts in garter st in each side of neck dec in the middle. NOTE: Work the first and last 2 sts on row in garter st until finish measurements.
Then finish each shoulder separately as follows: On next row dec 1 st (K 2 tog) inside the 2 sts in garter st from the neck = 11 sts remain on shoulder, work 1 more row (= 10 rows worked on back piece), cast off all sts.
FRONT PIECE:
= 21 sts. Then cast on and work back and forth as on back piece. When 5 rows have been worked, work next row from WS as follows:
K 2, P 9, K the next 9 sts - AT THE SAME TIME cast off the middle 5 sts, finish with P 9 and K 2 = 2 sts in garter st in each side of neck dec in the middle. NOTE: Work the first and last 2 sts on row in garter st until finish measurements.
Then finish each shoulder separately as follows: On the next 2 rows dec 1 st inside the 2 sts in garter st from the neck = 11 sts remain on shoulder, work 2 more rows (= 10 rows worked on front piece in total), cast off all sts.
ASSEMBLY:
Sew shoulder and sleeve seams in front loop of outermost sts.
OVERALL:
First work 2 legs which are then worked on to overall afterwards.
LEG:
Worked in the round on double pointed needles. Cast on 20 sts on double pointed needles size 3.5 mm with denim blue. P 2 rounds, then K 5 rounds. On next round, work as follows: Cast off the first 2 sts, K the remaining sts = 18 sts remain. Slip all sts on a stitch holder and put piece aside. Cast on and work another leg the same way = 18 sts remain on row, cut the thread.
BODY:
Slip sts from 1st leg back on needle with cast offs towards each other, work in the round over all sts = 36 sts. NOTE: Round beg and ends mid back. Then work as follows:
ROUND 1: * K 5, inc 1 st in next st *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 42 sts (6 inc sts on round).
ROUND 2 (and then on every even numbered round): K all sts.
ROUND 3: * K 6, inc 1 st in next st *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 48 sts.
ROUND 5: * K 11, inc 1 st in next st *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 52 sts.
ROUND 6-20: K all sts.
ROUND 21: P all sts while at the same time casting off.
Then continue to work front piece back and forth on double pointed needles as follows: Insert a marker in the middle of each side = 26 sts between each marker. Then knit up from RS in front loop of the middle 16 sts between markers (= 5 sts remain until marker in each side) = 16 sts remain on needle. Work in stocking st but work the outermost 2 sts in each side in garter st. When a total of 11 rows have been worked, K last row from WS - AT THE SAME TIME cast off until 3 sts remain on row. Then K these 3 sts for strap, cast off when strap measures approx. 10 cm (or till the length that fits the doll).
Knit up from RS 3 sts in front loop of the last 3 sts in the other side of front piece, K these 3 sts, cast off when strap measures approx. 10 cm. Sew strap to the back of overall.
HEART:
Work a heart back and forth in GARTER ST - read explanation above - as follows: Cast on 1 st on double pointed needles size 3.5 mm with pistachio.
Row 1: Work 2 sts in this st = 2 sts. NOTE: Work tightly so that the heart gets a nice shape.
Row 2: Inc 1 st in every st = 4 sts.
Row 3: K all sts.

Row 5: K all sts.
Row 6: K all sts but inc 1 st in 1st st and inc 1 st in last st on row = 8 sts.
Row 7-10: K all sts.
Work next row as follows: K the first 4 sts tog 2 by 2 = 2 sts on row, turn and cast off these 2 sts on next row. Repeat dec over the remaining 4 sts, cut and fasten the thread. Sew heart to the front of overall.
HAT:
Worked in the round in stocking st. Cast on 42 sts with light ice blue on double pointed needles size 3.5 mm, K 2 rounds. Insert a marker at beg of round and move the marker upwards when working. Then work as follows: * 1 round pistachio, 1 round light ice blue *, repeat from *-* a total of 3 times. Then work in light ice blue until finished measurements. K 2 more rounds and then dec as follows:
ROUND 1: * Work 5 sts, dec 1 st - READ DECREASE TIP above *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 36 sts (= 6 dec sts).
ROUND 2 (and then on every even numbered round): K all sts.
ROUND 3: Work 4 sts, dec 1 st *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 30 sts.
ROUND 5: Work 3 sts, dec 1 st *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 24 sts.
ROUND 7: Work 2 sts, dec 1 st *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 18 sts.
ROUND 9: Work all sts tog 2 by 2 = 9 sts, cut the thread. Pull the thread through the 9 sts, tighten tog and fasten.
