I love to see dollies in cribs and had been searching for a knitted crib to knit for Poppy but could only find crochet cribs so decided to try and design one.

This took a lot of attempts, trying various yarn weights and needle sizes to create a fabric firm enough to carry it’s own weight and the weight of a dolly. But at last I’m happy with the design. Then of course it needed a dolly to sleep in the crib and then the dolly needed a sleep suit, pillow and blanket to keep it warm.

The crib is knitted in one piece, but for the handles, using thick yarn and 6mm/10US needles it knits up quickly. Just make sure your needles are long!! Or if you are using a circular needle as straight, a long cable.

Baby doll is knitted in one piece but for the arms and hat, the hat is sewn in place so there is no need to worry about ears and hair.

Please read the information on the pattern for yarn suggestions, hints and tips.

This package includes:
Crib
Baby Doll
Hat
Sleepsuit
Nappy/Diaper
Pillow and Blanket

Plus step by step guides for both crib and doll which is full of photos to help you create a lovely crib for a special little one.
