Along with a nice selection of other original and free knitting patterns, this site offers a fun and great stash-busting pattern for Little Dudes - little baby-sized dolls. These knit dolls are made using double pointed needles and a step-by-step and well-illustrated tutorial is included for knitting with double pointed needles.
Crafty Tips:
When knitting with double pointed needles your yarn will tend to twist, every few rows hold up the yarn and let the yarn unwind to keep your knitting flat and even.
