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!

I used to be super freaked out over those dolls. I had ptsd from watching Uncle Bobby with those commando clowns dropping from the ceiling looking like a dressed up ring of figs. Personal issues.

See for reference

Oh my. That is disturbing! Quite the ritual to include the kids in. I imagine there's an entire generation messed up by that show! ๐Ÿ˜… I had to turn it off ๐Ÿ˜‹
