Cast On 16 stitches

When I knit in the round, I use 2 circular needles.

 I divide the stitches on to the 2 circulars and knit in the round this way.

Knit 4 rows in yarn scraps of your choice for the feet / socks. 

I prefer to use variegated yarn. Use whatever you have on hand. 

Join a different color and knit 8 rows for the pants.

Join a different color for the belt. Knit one row.

Purl the next row to create a ridge.

Join a different color for the shirt. Knit 6 rows.

Join the face color. Knit 6 rows.

Embroider the eyes and lips using embroidery floss or thin yarn. 

The last step is the hair. With 2 strands of furry yarn held together, knit 2 rows. 

Next, *Knit 2, Knit 2 together* repeat across.

*Knit 1, Knit 2 together* repeat across.

*Knit 2 together* repeat across.

4 stitches left. Cut yarn leaving a 6 inch tail.

Thread the yarn tail through the remaining stitches.

Pull to close. Pull end of yarn into the doll. 

All yarn ends that won't be used to sew the details can be put inside the doll. 

Think of it as extra stuffing.

The tails you will need are for the neck, shirt, pants and feet. 

Stuff your doll using small amounts of fluff, a little at a time. 

Sew up the bottom of your doll using one of the yarn ends from the feet of your doll.

To create the neck, thread yarn through every other neck stitch. 

This is the back view, after you pull the yarn through the stitches.

Make the first part of a simple knot.

Pull to cinch. This makes the neck.

Finish the knot to secure.

It looks more like a doll now. 

Keep the shirt yarn end for making an arm.

In this picture the feet have been sewn in the middle. 

The next step is doing the same up 3/4 of the pants. 

Your doll now has legs.

The next step is sewing up either side for arms.

Doll accomplished.
