I knitted socks for my Barbies with the MTM body. They fit both standard and curvy bodies. I used 0.7 mm circular needles (magic loop).
Short pattern:
Cast on 20 stitches using an elastic cast-on.
Work 7 rows of 2×2 rib.
Knit 2 rows.
Decrease 2 stitches on the first needle (heel side).
Knit 4 rows.
Decrease 2 stitches on the second needle (front of the sock).
Knit 5 rows.
German short-row heel: 3–2–3 (work 2 smoothing rows in the round in the middle of the heel).
Knit 2 rows to finish working all short-row stitches.
Foot: knit 12 rows.
Toe: Decrease 4 stitches (2 on each needle).
Knit 3 rows.
Decrease 4 stitches (2 on each needle).
Finish with Kitchener stitch.
MTM is throwing me and it clearly doesn’t stand for ‘Male to Male’, can somebody enlighten me?
Cute socks btw, those stiches are immaculate!
It stands for “Made to Move” 😅 A type of body for Barbie with movable joints.
Lmao, thank you!
Apparently it’s “Made to Move.” But I think they’re still typical Barbie size.
Impressive knitting!
