Lilly and May are ready to welcome spring with their charming new outfits!

Lilly wears a pretty dress and a matching cardigan, both edged with delicate picot trim on the sleeves and skirt hem. Her outfit is finished with a cheerful contrast stripe at the hems for a touch of fun.
May is dressed in a lovely two-tone dress with playful stripes on the skirt, topped with a smart cardigan trimmed in coordinating colours.

You might like to knit their socks and shoes right into the leg, so they’re always neat and never go missing. Or, leave their feet bare and whip up a few pairs of sweet little shoes that can be swapped to match every outfit—perfect for dressing up and play.

Their tidy knitted hair, finished off with colourful coordinating bows, is a breeze to make and stays neat no matter how many adventures come their way!

Both the dolls and their outfits are knitted flat on standard straight needles and then seamed. You’ll use simple stitches throughout, working the dolls from the head down, and adding the arms and hair at the end for that special handmade finish.

Make one, and yarn over stitches are used in the patterns.

Please be aware that these instructions are an additional set of clothes for you to add to your own Lilly and May pattern.
The full Lilly and May doll pattern is NOT included.
