Happy Spring, Happy Easter, Happy Day! 

To celebrate, I have something for you. 🙂 Hint: It was laborious, fun, exciting & frustrating – all at the same time! Some of you might be able to guess already, if you follow me on Instagram & Facebook. Or, if you’re reading this from a link in my email, that means you’re among the first to see it. 🙂

It’s a free pattern & video tutorial! The Bitty Bit Cuddle Baby Pattern.  Yep.  And, I’m excited to share it with you.  The BB Cuddle Baby is a small doll, 4 in/10cm and is a perfect pocket doll for wee pocket.

It’s an easy pattern & perfect for the newbie sewist.  A sewing machine is not required & many of the materials can be found around your home.  If this is your first sewing project or very first doll making venture, I encourage you to use what’cha have & not go buy a bunch of supplies. This project is perfect for up-cycling fabrics & materials.

UPDATE:  Join us in the Bitty Bit Cuddle Baby Sew-A-Long!!

I tried to consolidate the tutorial as much as possible.  It consists of 5 videos & will take you from the supplies you need to the finished baby.  It’s the first pattern/tutorial I’ve ever published & is FAR from perfect, but hopefully it helps ya!  If you have any questions, just let me know.

Also, if you make a BB Cuddle Baby, I’d LOVE to see it!!!  If you share it on social media, be sure to tag me and use the hashtag #bittybitcuddlebaby, so I don’t miss it. All my social links are at the top of this page.  Find & Follow Me!!

Be sure to check back to another hat option for the wee baby – a hand knit cap – I’ll post the pattern as soon as I finish typing it up & also add it to Ravelry.

So, here ya go!  Bitty Bit Cuddle Baby Pattern

I’ll include the videos below.  I tried to keep them as short as possible, but ended up making the last 2 longer. So, I added time links in the description on YouTube.  Hopefully, those quick links will help you easily navigate the longer videos.

Update January 2016:  There is also a free knit cap pattern available. It’s a another hat option for your wee baby’s head instead of the sewn hat shown in the tutorial. 🙂
