Not just knitted baby ugg boots but tiny tiny doll Ugg boots

Some time ago I adapted a pattern to make some baby knitted Ugg type boots.  That set me thinking on making the pattern even smaller, to make some Ugg boots to fit a tiny doll.  This is the result;  these will fit a doll such as the tiny bjd, Lati Yellow, Pukifee etc, and similar 6 to 7 inch tall dolls.

The British penny is to show the size, which is very small!

I have developed a new pattern, with a duffle coat, leggings and boots, to fit the tiny bjd.  The pattern will be available very soon from the webpage shop, and comes in a brown version with pink leggings, or the black version with red leggings.

Miniature knitting is not just for Christmas....

I thought I would list some Christmassy miniature knitting.  All these are dolls house size 12th scale, so the tea cosy is about one inch high, and the stockings and Santa toy are both about 1 1/2 inches high.

Perfect for the seasonal dolls house, or to accessorise other 6 inch dolls such as bjd, Kelly, Strawberry Shortcake and so on.

Patterns are available in the Christmas knitting book, from the webpage shop.
