I knitted socks for my Barbies with the MTM body. They fit both standard and curvy bodies. I used 0.7 mm circular needles (magic loop).

Short pattern:

Cast on 20 stitches using an elastic cast-on.

Work 7 rows of 2×2 rib.

Knit 2 rows.

Decrease 2 stitches on the first needle (heel side).

Knit 4 rows.

Decrease 2 stitches on the second needle (front of the sock).

Knit 5 rows.

German short-row heel: 3–2–3 (work 2 smoothing rows in the round in the middle of the heel).

Knit 2 rows to finish working all short-row stitches.

Foot: knit 12 rows.

Toe: Decrease 4 stitches (2 on each needle).

Knit 3 rows.

Decrease 4 stitches (2 on each needle).

Finish with Kitchener stitch.

I had no idea it was possible to knit anything this tiny. Crazy!!

Looks like a great fit as well! It makes me question what I'm doing making poorly fitting clothes for real people.

    MTM is throwing me and it clearly doesn't stand for 'Male to Male', can somebody enlighten me?

    Cute socks btw, those stiches are immaculate!

    Knitting for dolls must be amazing bite-size practice for bigger projects. And quick results for the dopamine hit of a project done.

    I used to knit a lot for people before switching to dolls, and I don’t think needles smaller than 2.0 mm are the best choice for practice 😅
