Kelly Colonial Crochet Outfit

Most Kelly crochet patterns are written for thread. This eliminates them as possibilities for me to crochet them. When I found the free Kelly Halloween Cat Costume pattern and it worked I realized I had a pattern that might adapt into a dress.

I changed from Red Heart worsted weight yarn to Red Heart Sports Yarn. Adding increases created the skirt. For the most part, I followed the pattern established in the Betsy Ross Barbie pattern and it created a style I liked.

Kelly has big hair so I did not need to reduce the pattern for the cap. I used sports yarn and made the cap pattern found in Barbie pattern.

Kelly Cat Costume Crochet

I have not forgotten my Halloween projects. Kelly now has her Halloween costume made and ready to ship off with my Halloween package. This free pattern is made from Red Heart and Caron One Pound Yarn.

I really love the way this pattern looks. After playing with this pattern to create a Patriotic outfit that I will be discussing later, I would suggest using Red Heart Sports Yarn and checking the stitches to make sure the pattern fit. You may need to add more stitches, but the fit will be a bit less bulky.

As one who cannot use thread, I have been glad to find patterns that allow me to make Kelly clothes without using thread.

Ken Colonial Crochet Outfit

This Ken outfit was made from a free George Washington pattern. I used Red Heart, Caron One Pound, and Lion Brand's Vanna's Choice worsted weight yarn to make this outfit. Ken's pants require 4" of 1/4" elastic to make his waist band.

I chose not to include the jabot in my project as I was trying to make an outfit that was easy to put on and remove. I may experiment with the jabot to find a way to make it more user friendly for children. Those who are not making this for kids may have a different idea about using the pattern.

I have enjoyed using up my stash on this round of projects. I had bought the Lion Brand yarn at a Church sale last fall. It was the perfect color for Ken's pants. I did not have anything in Red Heart that would work.
