Baby knitting experts, I need your advice!

A friend of mine is pregnant, and asked if I could possibly do a new version of this old doll someone made for her when she was a baby.

Absolutely, happy to!

Except I have no idea what kind of yarn is both baby-friendly and also will last for 40 years like this one has.

I can probably make up a pattern, but if anyone knows one similar so I don’t have to that would also be amazing.

Pointers very welcome, thank you all!

    So true! I’ve felted a couple of wool items over the past two years because I wasn’t paying attention… And modern acrylics are so soft! I went through my mom’s abandoned stash today and the acrylic yarns she had from the eighties. Were. So. Rough.

    (To be clear: mom’s fine, just not knitting any more)
