The two last ones are necessities for a doll bed. I have used some "left-over" quilt fabric with pink ballerinas and a few yards of pink yarn, spent approximately an hour for sewing and knitting.
I started with the cable border. After finishing the cable, I picked up the stitches for the upper body, and knitted double moss stitches. I completed the upper body with collar before starting on the lower body - i.e. did sew together on the shoulders. I did leave all stitches from the front bands as well as the collar on the needle - i.e. did not cast of anything but the shoulder stitches
Then I picked up the same number of stitches for the lower body, and started a 5 knit 3 purl rib. After 2 cm I increased two stitches in each 5 knit - to 7 knit. Then I did knit 20 rows and increased 2 stitches in each 7 knit to 9 knit. Then I knitted 30 rows and increased to 11 knit. Finally I knitted 36 rows.
Then I picked up approximately 3 stitches per 4 rows on each front "band", and casted off those as well as all stitches on the collar and the lower body by using a 3 stitches I-cord.
The sleeves are not sewn together with the body, but knitted together. When finishing both sleeves I did pick up the same amount of stitches on each sleeve and on each "sleeve hole". I casted on 3 stitches in contrast color and knitted the sleeve together with the body using an I-cord that is attached to the body at one end and the sleeve at the other end.
Finally I finished up by covering the buttons with crochet stitches and adding one bead in the middle of each button.
Denne var bare helt utrolig lekker!!! Datteren min hadde fått helt dilla hadde hun sett denne:)
