A Christening baby doll is a toy that represents a baby dressed in a Christening gown, with shawl. This is traditional attire for a Christian baptism ceremony. This kind of doll often carries sentimental value and is seen as a keepsake. It may be given at church or later as a gift at a Christening.
Children find these dolls appealing because they can be nurturing towards them, mirroring the care they see from adults around babies. It allows them to play and engage in role-playing, which is a key part of learning and development.
The doll is special because it symbolizes a significant life event. It represents new beginnings, innocence, and the love of a family and church and welcoming a new member. For many, it holds a deeper emotional and religious connection.
We love them because they are a symbol of purity and a celebration of life. They often become treasured items that carry memories of family and love, making them more than just a toy.
Knitting a Christening baby doll allows you to create a personalised and meaningful gift. It’s a way to craft something unique that can be cherished for years to come. Knitting them also offers a sense of accomplishment and the joy of making something special with your own hands.

Pattern Instructions and Help
What About Knitting Needles?
We use either 3mm(UK 11, US 3) needles with Double Knitting yarn.If you use chunky / bulky then 4.5mm single pointed knitting needles(UK 7, US 7) are what we use.
Is That Right? It Seems Too Small?
If you look at a ball band or have knitted garments before, you will know the recommended size is for larger needles.We do this so when you knit the pieces the knitting stays dense and the toy stuffing doesn't show through.

Using Your Pattern
Do You Sell Yarn, Needles or Haberdashery?
All we do is create gorgeous toy knitting patterns.We don't sell anything else.This makes us specialists at what we do.
This also means that you are free to buy your haberdashery from your local yarn shop or any other place that you like.
Do I Need To Go And Buy More Yarn?
No. (Well, not unless you want to!) Just use up some of your stash. The patterns don't use any brand in particular. If you keep the yarn a consistent thickness for all colours and you can pretty much use what you want.
We tend to use acrylic yarn for our toys as the thickness is consistent and colours are vibrant.
We only use 2 thicknesses of yarn for all patterns. Either Double Knitting (Light Worsted, 8ply, No.3, Approx 300m/100g) or Chunky (Bulky, 16ply, No.5, Approx 150m/100g) See the listing to see which one we used.
You know that you will be able to use the pattern in future too when your stash changes. Don't be afraid to experiment with fancy yarns and thicknesses.
