The Woman's Weekly patterns are at present still in copyright, though you might be able to find a copy of the magazine for sale on eBay. Otherwise, you could look for the book mentioned in a previous comment, by Patricia Evans and Jane Woodbridge, which is called Knitting for the Rosebud Twins.

Every little girl in my school in Pietermaritzburg, Natal, South Africa wanted a set of these dolls. It was necessary to place ones name on a list at a local shop as permits had to be issued to import them. At last mine arrived and I learnt to knit from the patterns. One of the outfits was this one and the remnants still exist. I would love to have the pattern is it possible?
