This is a vintage British Doll pattern for 6 1/2" dolls (4 1/2" widest part of body). It is a miniature 4 piece playsuit with embroidered swallows and trees on the sweater and cap.
The pattern includes a striped sweater with collar, leggings, cap and booties. We are showing it in red and white but blue and white would be too cute. The swallows are blue with red throats and three Poplar trees are embroidered on the cute cap and top.
Two ply fingering, and a pair of English size 14 knitting needles were used in the original pattern. This classic pattern will be too cute for Ellery or her twin brother (?) or just to use as a basic pattern for your own custom touches.
Even though this pattern was originally designed for a hard plastic Thumbsucker Baby Doll, Rosebud (a very popular English made doll) ca. late 40's - early 50's, these patterns will also fit 6 1/2" bisque dolls and other miniature baby dolls that are so popular today like Ellery.
If a smaller size is desired, smaller needles and thread can be used. Larger sizes can be made by increasing needles and yarn, for 8" dolls like Tiny Ann Estelle or Betsy McCall, Ginny, Bitty Bethany, Kishlets, Baby Patsy or Marie Osmond's little mini collections or Riley.
