Winnie's Babies ( knitted babydolls) 
Yarn - Use any thickness you like. The dolls in the picture are made with Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece, which is a light worsted available in many colors. The thicker the yarn, the bigger the doll. These dolls, made from Cotton Fleece are about 5 inches tall, which fits nicely into the hand of a child. You will need 4 colors per doll
Needles - Use a needle size a little smaller than the size called for by the yarn. Cotton Fleece babydolls use a #6 or #7.

Finishing
Embroider eyes and mouth on centre front. Sew across base
Sew up back, leaving an opening so you can stuff. Stuff with fiberfill. Draw a piece of yarn through stitches at base of head and pull tight to gather in.
For arms, pinch a few rows of knitting between your fingers at the side of the doll, and starting where pants meet the shirt, stitch up. Stop a few rows before the head.
Gender Indentification - If you want a girl doll, you are done. Boys take a little more work. For the boy doll, stitch up from base, through pants stopping a few rows before the shirt. This divides the body for the legs.
