This was the last outfit I finished in January. It was the month for baby dolls.
The main portion of the outfit for the Lots to Love 14 Inch Baby Doll is made using Darski's free pattern set Sweet Baby Mine found here. I chose to use the booties from a Petite Design's pattern that can be purchased here.
Notes:
The main yarn for this dress is Walmart's Mainstay's Pink Blend. I found this in my stash last year and actually plan on picking up some additional skeins as I like the look for this outfit and I think it might work for some patterns I picked up last year that require a striping yarn.
I tend to stick with Red Heart or Caron for my worsted weight but this works for this outfit. The pink is Red Heart Pretty and Pink. The Rose is an unknown brand. I'm leaning towards left over Caron but I'm not sure. I don't remember finding Red Heart in this shade previously.
The booties required a lighter weight yarn. I may try them with worsted next time as they might fit better with a heavier yarn. I believe this is left over Mary Maxim baby yarn that I'd used on another project.
I plan to finish the pattern set for this doll but I'm taking a brief break from the baby dolls to make some Valentine outfits for the 18 inch dolls. I realize none of the dolls will use their holiday outfits until 2026 but there is something fun about making them in season when I can.
