Our Generation Sleeping Bag

With this sleeping bag finished all the 18 inch doll sleeping bags are complete. I just need one for the Rag doll and then I'm on to the fashion dolls and little critters. I still need a sleep sack for the Lots to Love 14 inch baby doll.

Notes:

This is a free pattern found here. You can also find patterns for the fashion dolls there as well.

I use a K hook to make this fit the 18 inch dolls.

The yarn for this one is Red Heart stripes Baby Rainbow and I need 2 skeins to make it fit.

Lots to Love 14 Inch Baby Doll Bib

A few years back I started using the bib pattern I found on an Annie's doll DVD Needlecrafts Sweet Cuddles 971016 by Sandra Miller Maxfield because it fit the smaller Lots to Love 14 inch baby doll better than the free pattern I use for the 16 inch baby doll. There are other patterns with this set including one for a doll but with all the other patterns I have to explore I've haven't adapted any of them for the donation as of yet.

As I look back on my post I realized I never made any notes about this project. As always this is my last bib of the donation which is why it likely doesn't get any notes. I'm celebrating finishing but this year as I went to make this bib I realized I need reminders.

Notes:

I use an f hook for this bib.

The main portion is white worsted 4. The trim is Baby Bernat Sport yarn. It is too heavy with worsted 4.

Lastly, since I keep forgetting this the ties go on the inside of the neck not the outside. The ties are in the neck area not the shoulders. The pictures don't make this clear so I am making a note for myself to add the ties on the inner section of the bib. I use 40 chains for the ties.

Lots to Love 14 Inch Baby Doll Nightgown

I've adapted the 10 inch baby doll Nightgown from Darski's free Sweetly pattern found here for the Lots to Love 14 inch baby doll.

I made this one while watching the Olympic Figure Skating team competition. I like simple patterns when I'm watching something that requires more of my attention.

Notes:

I use a G hook to get this to fit the larger doll.

This nightgown was made with Bernat Big Baby Sport Tiny Tulips.

I didn't count rows for length but I do crochet until it is about ankle length.

I make a number of these nightgowns so I do play with how I finish them. I chose a shell pattern for the bottom of this one. Sc skip 5dc around.

The ties are 40 sc each. I finished the back before adding the ties. I didn't do anything special with the collar this time.

I finished the arms with a row of sc followed by a row of sc chain 3 skip one sc around.
