Measurement Charts for Dolls

This file was downloaded from http://www.knitting-and.com/knitting/tips/doll-sizes.htm

People are always asking the various knitting email lists for knitting patterns for dolls so I thought it would be a good idea to put up a list of measurements for different types. This way, you don't need to own a particular doll to design an outfit. Simply enter the measurements required into your favourite knitting software (my favourite is DesignaKnit) and you can whip up a pattern in no time!

If you have access to a doll not mentioned here please send me a list of it's measurements via e-mail. Metric or Imperial measurements are fine! I will update this list whenever I receive new measurements. Measurements will be available in both imperial and metric as they are converted.

Inches have been rounded to the nearest quarter inch
