I tend to knit very loose, besides knitting in a continental style, which gives a much looser knit. That is why I usually use needles that are 2-3 sizes smaller than recommended by the yarn manufacturer. Either way, I always mention in the instructions that you should use the needle size necessary to obtain gauge. This doll has rather "beefy" shoulders and because of that I usually make the front longer than the back. I hope that helps.
