OLIVIA, Doll in Winter Outfit, Knitting Pattern

Sweet doll with complete winter outfit to knit.

Building snowmans and ice skating – Olivia and her best friend Anni dream of a winter with lots of snow. Unfortunately, their hometown Hamburg is not the place for snow, only rain and wind. Well, if you are a girl from Northern Germany, you don‘t care: Hopping through puddles is the best fun in the world! #winterolivia

ATTENTION: Corrected version03 uploaded July 2nd 2023. Please download the pattern again.
Page 4, top of page: After round 16, knit 20 sts instead of 36 sts.
Page 10, ears: Cast on 16 sts (not 24 sts)

The pattern is fine for advanced knitters. The pattern has 22 pages plus an appendix with knitting techniques. It includes step-by-step-instructions and many pictures. Nevertheless, I recommend you have a close look on the pattern before printing – it's very likely you will not need to print all pages.

With the gauge shown below Olivia measures approximately 40 cm = 16 inches.

PLEASE NOTE:
>> The doll is knitted in the round, not flat!
>> The doll's body is identical with the body of my dolls Mathilda and Olivia. If you already own one of these patterns, I offer the clothes and hair of Olivia as a set (without body) for a lower price – please find the "Winter Set" here in my shop.
>> This is not the finished item but a knitting pattern as a digital PDF file.
>> Pattern downloads are available in English and German.
>> Downloads für diese Anleitung sind auf Deutsch und Englisch hinterlegt.

Happy knitting whishes yours Steffi von cats&hats
