Newborn Size Waldorf Type Baby Boy

Here’s Linc! He’s my newest newborn size Waldorf Type Baby dolls. He is based on a pattern found in Sewing Dolls by Karin Neuschutz. I altered the pattern slightly so that he will fit in commercially made baby clothes. His torso is a bit longer, his arms a bit narrower, and his feet a bit longer than the pattern in the book.

He is weighted with glass doll weighting beads. This is the third doll I’ve weighted using glass beads. I’ve found that making a couple little bead-filled cloth packets works well. A pair of weighted bags fit nicely into the bottom of the doll’s torso.

His hair is a knitted wig. I was really curious to see if the type of knit wig I made for a tiny doll works for a really big one. It does! More about that in my next post.

I just had to give him some eyelashes. Baby boys always have the best eyelashes. (I don’t put any eyelashes on my baby girl dolls).

Linc is a cutie—he looks like a real boy. He’s gonna steal some hearts!

Here is another photo of Linc and one of him with Lillibelle so you can see a boy and girl together.

Linc is wearing truck shortalls from Carter’s.

Linc and Lillibelle with a bunny cake made by my neighbor. I designed the pattern and made the dress Lillibelle is wearing. Linc’s shirt and pants are a thrifted outfit.
