Free pattern: Kadie-jade knitted doll

Hi everyone! Here is a new doll pattern. She is pretty, isn’t it? Unlike my previous doll, she is not very tall (19cm) and is easier to make. With her big head and little body, she looks like a baby and even if she does not have a mouth, this little knitted doll will make your child smile on Christmas day! :)
