This is the easiest outfit for a 12 Th scale baby. It is just a matter of knitting two pieces without any decreasing on increasing and sewing them together. Here is the basic pattern.
It is very easy to adapt . If your doll is a bit bigger or fatter than my Heidi Ott baby just cast on a few more stitches and add a few more rows.
You will need 1 mm knitting needled , DMC tatting thread and a sewing needle.
Cast on 30 stitches.
Row : 1-2 Knit
Row 3-30 Stocking stitch ( K on right side, P on wrong side)
Cast off.
Close one shoulder seam. Put on doll . Close the side seams leaving part of them open for armholes. Check with photo below Close the other shoulder seam and the crotch part.Check with photo below
If you like , you can add a little bit of shape to the suit by working row 15 - 18 in Knit 1 , Purl rib, this will add a bit of a waist line . When you thread a piece of thread through those rows and tie in the back it will look even better.
Basic knitted hat.
I made this to fit a Heidi Ott baby. But if your doll is bigger than you can just add a few more stitches . 25 stitches will fit a 1 1/2 inch baby. You can add more rows if you feel like it. This is just a very basic pattern that is easy to adapt.
