The simplest - yes, I said it - the simplest pattern ever. Not even a real pattern, just an idea with pretty photos. Ideal for craft fairs: quick and cheap to make and very, very popular. It might have to do with the fact that they’re affordable - to make and to buy. Apparently in this economy, these are the kind of treats people can still afford - a low-price handmade luxury. I don’t know if it’s the curvy shape of the soap or the smell, but everyone who sees them picks them up to feel and sniff them :-) Once sniffed, they’re hard to part with. (Bwoahahhaaa! = evil laugh)

These darling Play Pal Dolls are knit in the round, using Magic Loop or double pointed needles. The legs, body, arms and head are knit on as you go along. Only the ears and hair are attached later. The underpants are knit on and there is an option to knit on socks. The larger doll (approx. 14” tall) is created using worsted wt. (Aran/10-ply) yarn and the smaller doll (approx. 12 ½” tall) is created using light wt. (DK wt.) yarn. There are directions for 5 hairstyles (curly, long wavy, short wavy, braids and eyelash), many items of removable clothing (pants, shorts, top, pullover, dress, jacket, and 2 kinds of shoe styles), and even a backpack with a tiny bunny for the doll to play with, included in this pattern. With their sweet faces and “little people bodies”, and all the hairstyle choices and clothing, it may even be possible to make a look-alike play pal for someone special.Pattern Correction: Page 17, Boy's Pullover, the final stitch count should read 68 stitches on Round 24 .
