Lots to Love 8 Inch Baby Doll Swimsuit
This was made using a free Amy Carrico Fun in the Sun pattern found on Ravelry here.
Notes:
I only found last year's yarn when I finished the project so I stuck with Herrschner's 2 Baby yarn but used the Castle color.
My guage has been all over the place lately so I needed a C hook to get this to fit where I've previously made it work with a B and this yarn.
For my own notes when checking gauge on this project make the bottoms first as this was the quickest way to determine if the yarn hook balance had been reached. When the shorts fit the halter top fit.
The sandals and the visor always have to be fiddled with to get them to work for me. I never write this and then think I must be having a bad year but it came to me as I was working this year that this has always been the case.
I wrote a note to increase the ties as they are tight. I increased to 40 and I'd go to 50 the next time as they are still short.
