Micro Knitting

 How tiny is it? MICRO tiny!



When all the "yarn" needed for a complete sweater consists of just ONE ply of 6 strand embroidery floss and the entire "ball" can be wound on a bread tag, you know it's got to be micro knitting.

And who is this tiny knitting for? A little wee "Pocca". He's a micro ball jointed doll from DreamHigh Studios. He is only 4.5cm tall. That's less than 2 inches!


I've already knit him (or her) a teeny little hat.


Pocca hasn't yet received his faceup (that's colouring and details added to the face of a ball jointed doll).


When that is complete I might decide to rename him. I'm open to suggestions.


Pocca has a second "sleeping" face. I might decide to make that one a girl, for modelling purposes, but they would have to share a body.

The needles I used, PJ, are 6-0 in US sizes, or 0.75mm. Smaller than many sewing needles, but longer of course.
