SIRDAR

We hope you enjoy knitting our latest selection of dolls''!BOmts~eWe\To. 324 have tried to include something for everyone - your favourite outfits for 'dressing up' your doll, an easy-to-knit wardrobe for the Fashiontype doll and finally a complete layette for your Baby doll. The larger sizes of these Baby doll patterns will also fit premature babies. Some of the patterns only take a small amount of yarn so this is an ideal opportunity to use up your oddments.

Tension
For best result check your tension before starting work. If the tension piece measures less than the requ.ired width try a size larger needle. If the tension piece measures more than the required Width try a size smaller needle.

Pressing
Always press each piece on wrong side of work avoiding ribbing. Wool: Using a hot iron and a damp cloth, steam each piece thoroughly without allowing the weight of the iron to rest on the work. While the knitting is still damp pin out, then press lightly again and allow to dry. Synthetic yarns: Press lightly on wrong side using a warm iron and a dry cloth except when label states that yarn should not be pressed.

Notes
The yarn quantities have been worked out as accurately as possible but these may vary slightly according to the type of yarn used. Figures in round brackets refer to the larger size(s). Figures or instructions in square brackets, [ ], should be repeated as stated after the brackets.

Twisted Cord
Take required number of strands of yarn approximately 2'/2 times required length of finished cord. Make a knot at each end. Attach one loop to a hook or door handle. Place a pencil in the other and turn the pencil to the right until the cord is tightly twisted. Holding centreof cord, place pencil end and end on hook together, remove loop from hook and allow the two halves of cord to twist together. Knot and trim ends. Australia: Where Double Knitting is referred to in this book, we suggest you use 8 ply. Many thanks to Jessie, Emily and Mairin for the use of their dolls.
