Toy stuffing, 2 small buttons approx .5˝ / 12mm in diameter, stitch markers, scrap cardboard.

Gauge

26 sts and 34 rnds = 4˝ / 10cm in st st. Exact gauge isn’t too important and the size of the doll can be varied by using yarn in different weights. The important thing is to work at a reasonably tight gauge so the stuffing can’t poke through.
