Assembly Instructions
- Sew ears to head at Rnd 2-3, matching left and right for symmetry and secure with small stitches through the base of the ear.
- Attach arms to the body by sewing them about 2 rows down from the join of the head and body, positioning so arms lay naturally at the sides.
- Sew the legs to the body openings ensuring correct spacing as indicated (adjust stitch placement on Rnd 11 if necessary) and secure with tight stitches to hold shape.
- Fold the cap brim up to fit the doll's head, then tack down the long tail end of the night cap to the back of the cap to keep it in place if desired.
- Sew on the three 6mm buttons to align with the buttonholes created in the sleeper, spacing them evenly down the front.
- Attach the tail to the back of the body using craft glue (or sew if preferred) and knot/cut tails short for a neat finish.
Important Notes
- 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of round starts and important joins, especially when changing between Yarn Over and Yarn Under techniques.
- 💡Stuff parts gradually to maintain shape: lightly for the head first to create indents, then firmly but not overly tight to avoid distortion.
- 💡Switch hook sizes as directed for different pieces (1.5mm for dolls, 2.0mm for sleepers/caps, 3.25-3.75mm for the basket) to achieve correct fit and texture.
- 💡Weave in ends as you go to avoid bulky joins, especially with stripe color changes on the sleeper and night cap.
- 💡When making the basket bed with larger yarn, adjust the number of side rounds as suggested to get the correct height and fit for the doll.
This Goodnight Set brings tiny bedtime magic to life with miniature dolls, a cozy basket bed, a night cap, a pillow and a granny square blanket. It is carefully designed to be small, adorable and perfect for gifting or display. Enjoy creating each tiny piece and assembling a complete little scene you can treasure. 🧶 Sweet dreams and happy crocheting! 🧵
What size will the finished pieces be?
The finished dolls are palm-sized (miniature) when using the recommended 8/4 yarn and 1.5mm hook; the basket and blanket are sized to fit these mini dolls.
Can I use different yarn weights for the basket bed?
Yes, you can use a bulkier yarn or double strand a size 2 yarn as directed; you will need a larger hook (about 1.75mm-2.25mm larger than the hook used for the doll) and may adjust side rounds for height.
Do I need to know Yarn Under (x-stitch) and Yarn Over (v-stitch)?
This pattern uses both techniques; they produce slightly different textures. Basic familiarity is helpful, and the pattern notes indicate which technique to use for each item.
How long will it take to complete the full set?
Most crafters will spend around 12-15 hours completing the full set, though time can vary with experience and any customizations.
Are the eyes safety eyes or glued?
For the small bunny, 2 x 3mm black eyes are recommended and are glued into indents; ensure glue is secure, or substitute tiny safety eyes if preferred and suitable for the finished size.
