notes
As soon as the knit patterns for the girl dolls—Mary, Millie & Morgan—were released, it was a matter of moments before I was being asked if there would be a boy doll. Of course I said yes! As the mother of two boys and two girls, I know the importance of having dolls for everyone. By adding a boy doll to the mix the imaginative play expands by leaps and bounds. With this in mind, I am proud to present Ben and his lovable pup, Buddy.
Pattern includes instructions for boy doll, hat, sweater, pants, dog, and leash.
