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!

@thegiddystitcher @knitting I did some knitted dolls years ago and one very good pattern maker for these was Jean Greenhowe. You can find a lot of her booklets on Ebay.
