Christmas Bitsy Baby is all bundled up in a cozy snow suit, complete with a matching hat and scarf—ready for all the festive fun! Bitsy is absolutely thrilled to be bringing home the Christmas tree and can hardly wait to start decorating.

These Bitsy Babies are adorable, pocket-sized dolls, made from those special bits and pieces of leftover yarn—hence their charming name!

They come together so quickly and easily, making them a perfect project for new knitters and a delightful little make for more experienced crafters.

You can create your own Bitsy Baby in just an evening.

The body and head are knitted in one piece, and after seaming and stuffing, the legs are shaped by sewing a seam from front to back.

The arms use very simple shaping and are sewn on when finishing up your cute little character.

Size-14cm /5.5”- Just the right size to fit in a pocket!

Recommended yarn: - Paint box yarns Simply DK Or Stylecraft Special Knit DK

Check the recommended needle size for your yarn and use a needle 1 size smaller.

This will give a close textured stocking stitch which will hold its shape well when stuffed

You will need-
5g red DK Yarn, 2g green DK yarn
Small amounts of white, Skin tone and Black yarn.
Handful of toy stuffing
