With this project for the Lots to Love 10 Inch Baby Doll I finished the first skein of yarn from the pile I unearthed in my doll donation area. The yellow is an old skein of Woolworth's yarn and it worked up nicely for these two projects. I added some Herrschners' Baby Yarn as a contrast yarn and for the accessories when the yellow ran out. I used Bernat Baby white for the undies.
I did this in the suggested g hook but I think I'd go with an f hook next year as it was a little large. Again it could be the Woolworth's yarn is just heavier. I would crochet to arms and check as I believe I used Bernat Baby the last time which is a lighter yarn.
Since I used the bonnet for the previous outfit I experimented with a hat using front and back post stitches.
I used the multi-colored yarn for the booties. I wanted a different color anyways since the doll already has yellow booties so running out of the yellow was less of a crisis in this situation.
For my own notes these are the adjustments I make for the booties to get them to fit:
E hook
I keep playinng with the booties but this seems to be the best fit yet.
Complete row 1-3 of the booties.
Row 4: sc in back loops around
Row 5: sc evenly
Row 6: sc reducing 6 times at toe
Row 7: HDC evenly
Follow directions for 8-9
