When I decided on the nightwear challenge last year finding something for the Our Generation boy led me to an 18 inch doll girl's Christmas Pajamas pattern sold here.
The pajamas pattern she has for the boy look more like a summer t-shirt and shorts. Not that many of us haven't use those for night wear but I wanted something that looked like night clothes for the donation.
I made notes last year that I actually turned the pattern around and found it easier to close the onsie in the back with a snap and add a panel with buttons for show in the front. I continued with that this year. My goal is to make clothes as simple as I can to put on and take off for small hands. The snap in the back was easier to make work. I also continue to find for what ever reason the onsie sits better on the doll back to front.
Notes:
This was made with Red Heart Super Saver Light Blue and White. As I mentioned in last year's post the Caron Pounder color I really liked for this outfit was discontinued.
I did not include the hat that comes with the pattern.
A note to self the length of the legs seems to change each year. I have a note from both years about how many rows I need prior to adding the white trim. Use them as suggestions and try it on to see how the fit looks. I needed more rows this year than last and that could be me or the difference between the yarn I used.
While I still have a significant number of swimsuits to make I believe I just have the Rag Doll's nightgown to complete for the 2026 challenge.
