Dolly Knits is the home of
beautiful knitting patterns and accessories for toys and
dolls, along with patterns suitable for very small or
premature babies. Working from her home, owner Jacquay Yaxley
has created a wide catalogue of patterns and step-by-step
instructions available by mail order or from her excellent
website. Among the lovely patterns for beautiful dolls and
their clothes you will find everything needed to create that
unique gift or keepsake. You can design your own doll from the
wonderful Apple Valley range, knit a cuddly teddy bear or
fashion clothes with a touch of history. You can also create
hand-knitted toys dubbed `bootleg kids': charming knitted
footballers and ballerinas worked in double knitting that
every child will enjoy.
The
patterns for these marvellous soft toys come with full and
easy-to-follow instructions for their clothes, shoes and
accessories. Jacquay also sells `The Heirloom Doll', a 15-inch
high beauty made of porcelain and cloth, and the patterns for
her exquisite Costume Collection, inspired by authentic
garments or portraits from Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian
times, which re-create as far as possible within the
limitations of the medium, these garments faithfully in
knitted lace and wool. In addition, there are patterns for
beautiful knitted suits and dresses for traditional baby
dolls. Jacquay can provide kits that include the yarn,
haberdashery and pattern, or just the patterns alone to create
for yourself these mini-marvels.
