All parts are knitted flat and sewn up at the end. No circular knitting is required.

Double-pointed needles (DPNs) are used to make i-cords for the small arms. If DPNs are unavailable, transfer the stitches to the working needle after each row is completed. The pattern includes i-cord instructions.

The crochet hook is required to pick up stitches and to make chains. It does not need to be precisely 3mm.

The dolls’ bodies have small beads attached with cotton thread. These beads are typically used in jewellery and have holes at their centres. Alternatively, one can create French knots using black yarn if beads are not preferred.
