Calico Critters Mom Sleeping Bag

I am so very grateful to be finishing these sleeping bags and sacks so early in the donation year.

With preposting I spread them out so I only post one a week so this one was actually finished a month to the date ago.

These little ones are so quick and easy to finish that I decided to work my way through the Critters before going on to other dolls. I'm also going to adapt this pattern for Chelsea as it is less bulky and since I'm also making one for my shoebox donation space is critical.

You can find the free pattern here.

Notes:

I used size 10 crochet cotton and a 1.25 mm hook for the adult sleeping bags.

Since I don't have the means to add beds to my donation are am sure there is even space for such items I try to send sleeping items with the dolls. Most dolls have a sleeping bag or sack. The baby dolls have some kind of bassinet and blanket and the larger dolls all have blankets.

With this is mind the pattern leaves an empty pillow in the sleeping bag. I never had a sleeping bag with a pillow but as this is the intended sleeping area for the doll I've been stuffing and closing the lower portion of the pillow area. It is a choice when you make one.
