Lots to Love 8 Inch Baby Doll Snuggle Sack

I found myself at the end of last year rushing to finish the sleeping bags and challenge projects so this year I'm trying to weave them in as I go so I finish clothing and accessories in a bit more of a balanced manner. So don't be surprised to see some of the end of last year's projects popping up at the start of the 2026 donation project. I don't want to see them at the end of 2026. I'd rather be adding more fun clothing items.

Suzie's Stuff blog has been my go to for the sleep or snuggle sacks for the baby dolls and the sleeping bags for the other dolls. The free patterns make great accessory items for the dolls. You can find this pattern here.

Notes:

I used an F hook to make this for the smaller 8" doll.

I used Herrschners Worsted Baby Yarn color Tiara.

My notes from last year indicated I needed more Herrchners yarn and thankfully I was able to stock up on yarn and by accident it is the same color as last year. I tend to grab a skein and go as these are my travel projects.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you celebrating today. May you have a happy, healthy celebration.

These are the Pilgrim outfits I made for the 2025 donation that will be headed out next week for the Aztec Wishes donation.

Myself and the rest of the crew are already at work on 2026. Once the boxes leave I will set up the donation bags but I already have items beyond the dolls ready to put in them which makes me feel in a good place starting the 2026 year donation drive.

The Our Generation Girl notes are available here the boy here.

Lots to Love 8 Inch Baby Doll Spring Set

Every year I try to bring back patterns I didn't get to the previous year. This one has many little pieces to it so often if it isn't one of the early patterns I make in the year I don't always get to it.

This is Amy Carrico's Spring Set. It is currently shown on Ravelry as buy here but I bought it years ago from her Etsy shop so I don't know if the link is still valid. You can find it here.

Notes:

I alternate between a b and c crochet hooks for this outfit.

The yarn is Bernat Big Baby Sport Lavender and White.

The bodice of the dress is made with a C hook changing to a b for the skirt as it gets wide quickly.

Not sure if it was the b or the c for the jacket I thought I'd made a note but I did not. I am thinking it was a c to fit over the dress.

I used a b for the panties as I made a note the c made them too big. I also used a b for the headband adding 10 stitches to the starting chain. It tends to be big width wise for the head and this is a better version.

I needed a c hook for the shoes a b was too small.
