These beautiful little clothes are the perfect finishing touches for your handmade doll or toy! First create a gorgeous Princess Cape, featuring a Swiss Check border and fluffy pompoms – sure to keep any toy stylish and warm no matter the occasion!
The Fair Isle patterning on the cape is written into the pattern rather than being on a chart, so it’s perfect for any skill level. Also, there’s no need to carry the yarn across the back of the work as the colour change always take place in the same spot!

When it’s time for bed, tuck your doll in with the cosy Stocking Cap for a wonderful night’s sleep. The Stocking Cap features a rib border around the head and an oversized pompom on the tip of the hat.

Size
The cape is made to fit a toy approx. 22.5cm across the chest. (Also fits Barbie!)
The hat is made to fit a toy with an approx. head circumference of 16cm

The Cape is knitted using 6ply yarn and the Stocking Cap is worked in DK (8ply) yarn. You can use thicker yarns in both patterns to create a bigger clothes if desired.
