Bitsy has spent a joyful afternoon in the garden, busily picking flowers and filling her little basket with colourful blooms.

She makes a delightful gift for Mother’s Day, birthdays, or as a thoughtful Get Well Soon surprise.

Bitsy dolls are knitted with their bodies and heads in one piece. After seaming and stuffing, you simply sew a seam from front to back to shape the legs.

The arms are knitted separately and sewn on to bring these charming little characters to life.

This pattern is perfect for confident beginners—every doll and accessory piece is knitted flat with basic shaping for a friendly, approachable project..
