I love when I finish off a specific project type for a donation year. With this moses basket for the Lots to Love 10 Inch Baby Doll all the small doll carriers are finished.
I don't make them for the larger dolls anymore as the multiple yarn strands are too hard on my hands. I wait for the sales and pick up carriers for the Lots to Love 14 Inch Doll and the 2 JC 16 inch Dolls.
Notes:
The Moses Basket is from Annie Potter's Sweet Baby Layette Leaflet. I don't have a link I'm comfortable with at the moment for her website so as I mentioned on the Lil Cutesies notes I leave you with the pattern title and if you are interested it's a starting point to search for it.
The blanket is the standard pattern I use for this rather than the one that comes with the set. I just have found it fits better. It is from Darski's free BBL pattern found here.
The basket is made using Premier Puzzle Yarn in Maze and an I hook. I alternated the fp and bp for more of a "basket" look this time but I think I'd go back to fp in fp and bp in bp next time. It just seemed to work better.
When I can get shipping deals I try to pick up different baby yarns from companies as I like different colors and brands that are available. I just dread the high cost of shipping. I believe the blanket yarn is from Mary Maxim as I stocked up last year when I had a coupon.
I used an I hook with this yarn. I go back and forth on the size of the hook. With the larger doll the larger hook seemed like a good choice to get the blanket to fit.
