18 Inch Doll Pleated Skirt and Sweater
This is another outfit made using Maggie Crochet's Crochet Pattern Abby, Allie & Annie PA972-R to provide the skirt. This works up quickly and helps add more separates that can be mixed and matched to the donation.
The sweater is a from free pattern set Your the Tops I previously missed from Darski's collection over at Crochetville. You can find it here. When I saw a link to it over there I had to print it and try out some of the patterns. This sweater was a nice match for the skirt I wanted to try out for both dolls.
Notes for future reference:
The skirt fit this doll as per pattern instructions although I added 20 chains to the waist tie to make it easier to tie. I added a couple of rows to the sweater because I wanted it to cover the top of the skirt.
I crochet a little. I have so far tried pony tail hats and scarves. I also do granny squares and I've made baby blankets etc., but the one I'm the most proud of is the American Flag throw cover & matching pillow... I was feeling weird when 9/11 happened and I started to crochet to feel better & keep my mind off of things and poof! THERE IT WAS! I felt better & I enjoy looking at it every year and I think of how wonderful people were back then after and how we all stuck together.
