Welcome — I’m Lynne, the designer behind DollieBabies.
I create original knitting patterns for babies, premature babies and reborn dolls, written clearly so real knitters can enjoy making them.
DollieBabies knitting patterns are traditional, practical and easy to follow — designed and written by hand, not AI.
This page explains exactly what my patterns are, what you receive, and how they work.
DollieBabies patterns are original PDF knitting patterns created and written by me.
My aim is simple: pretty, wearable knits that still feel like “proper hand knitting”.
All DollieBabies patterns are available as PDF digital knitting patterns, and many designs are also available as printed copies.
Printed patterns will always be clearly labelled in the printed knitting pattern collection.
PDF knitting patterns are instructions, not finished knitted items.
Depending on the design, patterns may include:
Each listing explains exactly which sizes are included, so you can choose confidently. Height sizes refer to the height of a reborn doll, whilst weight sizes refer to real babies.
Most DollieBabies knitting patterns use Double Knitting (DK) yarn.
Some of the very tiny premature sizes in certain designs may use 4-ply yarn, where a lighter fabric is needed — but this is mainly for the smallest sizes only.
Inside every pattern you’ll find:
Many designs are easy to intermediate knitting patterns.
If you’re unsure whether a pattern suits your skill level, just ask — I’m always happy to help.
You receive a clearly written PDF knitting pattern that includes:
Patterns are written in UK terms unless otherwise stated.
Because PDFs are manually emailed, please allow a short time — I always send them as quickly as possible.
Many newer DollieBabies knitting patterns include GPSR safety guidance, covering:
Yes — small-scale sales are fine. Please credit: Pattern by DollieBabies.
No. Every design is created, written and updated by me.
Digital files are non-refundable, but if there’s ever a problem, I will always help.
Reborn sizing generally follows real baby sizing, and each listing explains the closest match.
I’ve been designing for many years and truly love creating patterns for premature babies, newborns and reborn dolls. I regularly update older designs to improve clarity and layout.
If you need help choosing a pattern or understanding sizes, please get in touch — I’m always happy to help.
Thank you for supporting an independent designer — Lynne, DollieBabies.
