Also, some people find knitting in the round preferable to knitting with straight needles. The joining and binding off can be tricky as nearing the tip of the hat requires double point needles...but I think you could do it! By the way, we're adding more pics to the blog!

Those dolls are adorable, but all the increasing and decreasing is much more difficult than straight knitting, not to mention it's in the round for the legs - you'll need 4 needles for that. I second Amy's opinion.Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16999425897687926418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677866446660565018.post-32966208770287291112009-04-07T19:28:00.000-07:002009-04-07T19:28:00.000-07:00Thanks Amy- I did ask.
