Calico Critter Brother Overalls

I believe I've mentioned it before but there aren't many patterns for the male Calico Critters. Many crochet patterns seem to be overalls likely because it is easier to keep the pants up with the straps from the overalls?

There seem to be more sewing options for males. I have picked up some holiday sets and recently bought some sewn outfits on Etsy for holiday decorations for my own Critters. However, for the donation it appears for the most part the boys will be heading out with a much more limited selection of outfits.

This pattern can be purchased here. Like the father overalls pattern there is a pattern for the male and female character at this size. At some point I hope to get back to making the sister version to add to her donation.

Notes:

Like the Dad pattern, I switched to size 20 thread and used a 1mm hook for this pattern.

I chose not to go with the cuffed pants.

One challenge I'm finding is the small buttons I bought for Barbie are a little big for the brother/sister animals. Not sure if I can find something smaller but I will be looking for something useful as a smaller alternative to what I have. Since they are sewn on and not functioning as a button I'm hopeful I can find something that works.
