Meet Betsy and Ben—two sweet baby dolls, perfect for playtime and cuddles.

They’re just the right size to snuggle, and little hands will love bringing them to life through play.

They also make heartfelt gifts to celebrate a new baby or for a baby shower—handmade gifts always hold extra meaning.

Why not knit a bow ahead of time for a gender reveal party? It’s a thoughtful touch that adds an extra bit of fun to the celebration.

The dolls are knitted flat on straight needles and seamed up neatly using mattress stitch.

You can use safety eyes, or if you prefer, embroider them on—whatever feels best for your little one.

Betsy and Ben’s hair is knitted, and Betsy’s bow is sewn securely in place.

Their nappy (or diaper) is removable and fastened with buttons—almost like the real thing!

You’ll knit the head and body in one piece, then add the arms and legs separately for that classic, handmade feel.
