Our Generation Boy Basketball Uniform
I've mentioned on several occasions I haven't found many crochet patterns written specifically for the boy doll. However, there are some patterns that are generic enough that they work for either the boy or girl doll. I already made the doctor scrubs and now I'm starting in on some of Adoring Doll's sports patterns. You can purchase the basketball uniform here.
Notes:
Shirt:
This is made with Caron Pounder Kelly Green, Red Heart White and Black. I wanted the specific shade of green for future reference I tend to use what ever shades/brands of white or black I have on hand.
I used an I hook for the shirt and I'd stick with that for future projects as the fit was good for getting on and off the doll.
I made the button hole while trimming the neckline and finishing the back in white.
Shorts:
The shorts lists an f hook I needed an I.
I've never been good at adding ss along the edge of something so I ss to add the yarn to the side than did a row of ss not attached to the end of the shorts and ss to the end of the shorts. I left a long end and sewed the ss to the shorts. Not the most effective method but better than the mess I was making trying to ss directly to the shorts.
Shoes:
I used the suggested G hook and followed directions as written. I would likely use an H hook if making these for the My Life Doll.
I love the little details on this outfit, especially the shoes! How cute. :)
