Springfield Doll Pants, Sweater, and Hat
I finished my second outfit for the doll donation project. I ended up using three different patterns. The pants are from Maggie’s Crochet Abby, Allie, and Annie Pattern. The sweater is the top part of the free We Gather pattern. Finally, the hat is from Edie Eckman’s Crocheted Wardrobe for 18” Dolls.
This is my favorite pants pattern. They work up quickly and they are easy to get on and off for little hands. As I was making this pair, I realized they would make great shorts, so I think I will be making a pair of shorts from the pattern to include in the box, too.
The We Gather pattern is my favorite free dress pattern. I wanted a quick and easy sweater for this outfit, so I used the top of the dress and it worked out nicely.
The only change I would make is to use a larger hook for the hat. It is cute, but I would have liked a larger hat.
I have almost completed the dress outfit from the Abby, Allie and Annie pattern with a few extras from other patterns. I will post that soon.
