Miniature Knitting Patterns 3 1/2" Pearl

Isabella uses the same knitting pattern I used for the cot drape Sunshine, although the pattern repeat  is made up of 16sts, the two leaves gives it a very delicate look. 

Worked in Venne 70/2 helps so much with the drape, and using 7mm silk ribbon for the tie adds to the luxury feel to the outfit. The doll was made by my friend Dianne Yunnie

I have called this design Pearl as it  is the first pattern I did for her.

 REARL for for the doll named Pearl

The design is knitted in Mettler Thread and when using Venne 70/2 the outfit is slightly larger and fits the Hidie Ott Child perfectly

I love knitting petticoats and often the adventurous knitter can so easily turn them into dresses.

 I find it is where I experiment a little

Pearl is one of my most favourite little girl doll house dolls

The dolls were made by my friend Dianne Yunnie

I thought I would show you the little girls sitting and on my desk as I design for her....

As you can see I often knit the outfit a few times to get the detail as perfect as possible, for me a row here an extra stitch there makes all the difference.

Many people don't enjoy the "frilly look" but sometimes these designs just happen.

The next photograph shows how I sew sleeves onto my garments, there are many items in a home that can be used to insert into a sleeve.
