A note about yarn. As these items are small, even the slightest difference of thickness in yarn can make a difference in the size of the finished garment. So please check your tension and use a small/larger needle if needed. Although I have given a guide to sizing, check your knitting as you go, as teddy bears and dolls come in a variety of shapes and sizes
If you have any queries please let me know either in the comments or by contacting me. I would love to hear from you.
Also, please don't copy the patterns to use for financial gain. And it you put photos online of finished items I would appreciate a mention.
Thanks for visiting my site

Hi Linmary,
ReplyDeleteWould you please tell me what size bear the 'teddy knitted dress and shoes' fits.
My bear is 13 inches tall and suspect the bear this dress pattern is designed for is considerably bigger.
Kind regards,
Rhea

ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup pour ces beaux tuto de tricot pour poupon Annabelle.,! Thank you fort these pattern for baby dols! Bye...bye..
ReplyDeleteHi. I only just found your site. I love your patterns, they are so easy to follow. Thank you for publishing these patterns.
ReplyDeletethanks for your kind comments
ReplyDeleteLove the teddy dress just perfect for what I want the trouble is my knitted bear is only 9 inches and this would be too big is there any way of making it smaller. I am not good with patterns I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteThe only things I can suggest is that you use a smaller needle, perhaps a 3.25 and finer yarn such as 4ply, and adjusting the length. This would be easier than faffing about altering stitch counts. hope this helps
DeleteWhat sweet little patterns you have created and shared, linmary. Thank you, so much for your generosity! ♥
ReplyDeleteBeen hunting high and low for easy baby doll knit patterns. Bless you for sharing these - I am going to start tonight. these will be gifts for my beautiful little granddaughter chloe :) - will post when I am done
ReplyDeleteHi
DeleteI'm looking forward to seeing your photos.
Lockdown due to Covid 19 is encouraging me to re discover knitting. Hoping to complete a football kit for Teddy, for my Grandson - might be xmas before I finish! All your pattern look FAB :-)
ReplyDeletehi thanks for your message. It seems that knitting has become very popular again.
ReplyDeleteMy motto is Keep calm and carry on knitting. Haha
I haven't stopped since knitting the football kit as mentioned above. Now I have my 'own' Annabell so my other grandkids always have dollies and teddies to dress up. I have also acquired a 'smaller' Annabell, shes 13". Would you advise maybe knitting 4 ply and size 10 needles 'Annabell' patterns to fit this one???? Thanks for all the great pattern ideas. Fully stocked wardrobe!!
DeleteTo knit for a smaller doll I would just use the Annabell patterns but reduce the rows a bit. Just keep checking on your doll as you go.
DeleteDownloaded the Pram set for my partner, she was happily knitting away when she got to the join pieces and shape raglan it seems to
ReplyDeleteHer that you left out the right sleeve and hen the pattern goes wrong. Would appreciate your feedback as she would like to finish the set for her granddaughters doll
Hi
DeleteIm' sorry your partner's having problems with the pattern. As the items for baby dolls are so small I usually try to knit the yoke in once piece so there's not so much seaming.
I've looked at the pattern where it says join pieces and there are clearly two sleeves
On left hand needle, with right side facing slip sts of left front, sleeve, back, sleeve and right front working yarn should be at the beg of row (133sts)
So I'm not sure what has gone wrong
Linda
I've just purchased the pattern for teddy Christmas jumper from Lovecrafts and am knitting the heart jumper first. I then noticed details of your website on the pattern so thought I'd take a look. Thank you so much for the build-a-bear size clothes, my son, and his bear will love them.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome
DeleteHappy knitting
I love knitting your patterns and so glad I gound your site. Just one problem with trouser pattern but I think it's just me! For joining Work as follows:
ReplyDelete(K2tog, k14, k2tog) 2 times, across 36sts
just continue across all 36sts with same yarn
DeleteThank you for the free Barbie patterns. I am anxious to try them for Elsa/Anna dolls. I appreciate the note about tension and yarn as I tried one other pattern and they turned out too large.
ReplyDeleteI made the shorts, haven't made the top yet, my shorts were to big, should I go down a size needle, it is to cute to not try again.
ReplyDeleteYour patterns are so easy to follow
im not sure what pattern you refer to but I suggest you go down a needle size
