Hecate 26-03-2006, 16:27 Hello Jackie, and welcome to the knitting group (and to Sheffield Forum)! I'm not familiar with those dolls. How much bigger are they than the standard Barbie/Sindy type of doll? I have seen knitting patterns meant for those sorts of doll before, but I'm not sure about for others. When you say 'classic' styles, what do you mean exactly? Do you mean sort of 'Pride and Prejudice' era style, or just a style that isn't too OTT and made of fun fur or sparkly wool? I will have a look and see what I can find out. What other things do you enjoy knitting? Have you been knitting long? localcricket 26-03-2006, 16:53 Thank you for your Quick reply is there anywhere I can put a photo of the doll for you all to see Hecate 26-03-2006, 16:58 Thank you for your Quick reply is there anywhere I can put a photo of the doll for you all to see We can't post photos directly on the forum, but we can post links to the photographs. Have a look at this (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=98060)post. It tells you how to go about it. When you're ready to post the link to your picture, just post it in a message in this thread here. Any problems, give me a shout :) . Hecate 27-03-2006, 11:59 I've had a search, but I can't come up with anything specifically for the doll you mention. There are a few sites which offer free knitting patterns though, and some of these have sections on dolls' clothes. Here are a couple of possibilities: Knitting Pattern Central (http://www.knittingpatterncentral.com/directory/dolls_clothes.php) About Knitting (http://knitting.about.com/library/weekly/aa090698.htm) The only other option I can think of is maybe looking at knitting patterns for young childrens' clothes, but I'm not sure if that would fit in with the style you're after. localcricket 27-03-2006, 20:26 Thank you Hecate, I have managed to find a pattern on the Craftime site |
