Marlie's Daytime/Nighttime Topsy Turvy Doll

My little lady has ALWAYS been a little mamma. I had a topsy turvy doll as a little girl, and adored it. I’m hoping she will love opening this up on Christmas morning. As opposed to Cinderella, I’m making a day dress/nightgown version.

Body Modifications

I’m knitting the body in the round, stuffing the body, then finishing sewing the top of the head closed.

Shoulder shaping:
K5, (k2tog) 5 times, k10, (k2tog) 5 times, k5.

I am using a couple of modified charts for the skirts.

Nightgown: Purple and white allover flower pattern (found on pinterest, link goes back to a Tricksy Knitter page)

Sundress: Tulip garden on a white background. (The oldest reference to the original image was located on a Russian website: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/6509/165682663.9/0_96fbf_8…)

When making the sundress picot edge, I will change to green two rows after the picot edge row to make grass from which the flowers to grow. I will also be crocheting a pink overskirt to blend into the pink bodice.

Tiny Babydoll Rocky

Marlie has been really liking pajama pants lately, so I made some for her baby.

I basically followed pattern, but cut all the counts and measurements in half. The leg length was knit to fit, with a garter stitch edge.

Sleeve Mods

CO 66. Work Ribbing for 3”. Work St. St. for two rounds. Work increase round every third round 21 times, then every fourth round 16 times. Work until sleeve measures 17.5” (I might have to go back and add an inch to this). Work Raglan.

Back Mods

Work ribbing for 2.5”. Forego the two rounds of stockinette stitch.

Next Row (WS): P63, pm, P57, pm, P63.

Next Row (RS): Set pattern. Stockinette to stitch marker, 8 repeats of leaf lace pattern to next marker, stockinette stitch to end.

Raglan change

Due to a few stitches that somehow got lost somewhere, I decreased every fourth row 18 times (instead of 19 times) on the front and back.
