I made these on the fly. I think they will fit Dora. You might have to drop out an increase. My doll has a wide round hand and I used her to fit the mitten. If the mittens are too big at the cuff slide a bit of elastic tread through to make it fit better.
Knitted Doll Mittens
Materials:
Size US 2 (3mm)Set of 5 Double Pointed Needles
Small amount of Sport Weight yarn. ( I used left over bits from my stash)
tapestry needle.
Cast On 20 stitches, Join make sure you do not twist. ( divide stitches 5 on each needle)
Round 1: Knit Even
Round 2: Purl Even
By putting in a purl row it keeps the mitten from rolling and also gives it a small cuff.

Round 11: Knit 4, increase in the 5th stitch, Repeat around (24 sts)
Round 12 & 14: Knit Even
Round 13: Knit 5, increase in the 6th stitch, Repeat around (28 sts)
Round 15: Knit 6, Increase in the 7th stitch, Repeat around (32 sts) This is the increase you might want to omit if it is too wide for Dora's hand. If you skip this round omit rounds 20 & 21.

Cut yarn and tread trough the last 8 stitches. Pull tight to close. Make sure you tie off the yarn in the inside of the mitten.
I just finished a lace edge doll dress of my own design. I don't know if I'm totally sold on the design or not. I do know that the I-Cords needed to be longer than what I made them but I guess that is half the fun of designing and writing your own patterns. I do know that I will knit this one again but I think I'm going to use a lighter weight yarn. The worsted weight is fine but I would like to see more of the lace work a little better. Also Next time I'm going to leave off the I-Cord and see what I get.
