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.
