In another life (during the 90’s) I was an avid machine knitter. Here is one of my patterns that was published at that time under the name Precious Knits.

This is a pattern for 4.5mm Standard Gauge single bed knitting machines. Two sizes are included in the instructions-17 inches and 9 inches tall. It is knit flat, then sewed together. Other materials needed are polyester fiberfill, shank back doll eyes, and a soft sculpture needle. If washable yarn is used, this toy is completely machine washable and safe for babies.
