One of the advantages to dressing and donating multiple sized dolls is when something doesn't fit one doll you have a shot it will fit another rather than having wasted all your effort and time on an outfit.
This is Amy Carrico's Cuddle Up Romper pattern for the Lots to Love 8 inch doll which is not currently available. According to my records I haven't made it since 2021 and I didn't write much about my experience back then.
However this year following the suggested hook size the outfit was huge. The shirt would have been big but OK but I had to decrease the waist just to fit the Lots to Love 10 inch doll despite the stitch count being right so clearly something wasn't OK.
Notes:
I used a D hook with Bernat Baby Sport White and Pink.
I had to fiddle with joining the legs to get the stitch count to match and the legs to join.
Later I did additional reduction rounds above what the pattern suggested at the waist as the pants were large even for this doll.
I needed to make a larger starting chain for the headband as the original pattern does fit the smaller doll.
Not all a loss as I know have this set up to use with the larger doll. I am playing with my hook size to see what I need to adjust for a better fit for the smaller doll.
