Bitsy Baby is ready for her Ballet class.
She’s wearing her Tutu and little ballet slippers. Her hair is neat and tidy in a sweet little top knot, decorated with a flower.
This sweet little doll would make a thoughtful gift or keepsake; for a young dancer starting her ballet classes or maybe entering her first competition. She would be easy to personalise just by changing the eye or hair colour, and using the dance company’s colours for the tutu
Ballet Bitsy Baby is an ideal project for new knitters and a fun little project for more experienced crafters.
She is quick and easy to make.

You can create your own Ballet Bitsy Baby in just an evening. –
The body and head are knitted in one piece and after seaming and stuffing the legs are created by sewing a seam through from front to back to divide the legs.

The arms use very simple shaping and are sewn on when making up this cute little character.
