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.
Knitting for dolls must be amazing bite-size practice for bigger projects. And quick results for the dopamine hit of a project done.
I used to knit a lot for people before switching to dolls, and I don’t think needles smaller than 2.0 mm are the best choice for practice 😅
Makes sense. Have not knit in awhile now and I was never quite good at it, so it seems I made a wrong assumption. Thank you for letting me know better
