After my oops that resulted in last week's Lots to Love 10 inch version of this pattern I decided not only to focus on making this work for the doll it was designed for but to document my path through it so I could repeat this for next year's doll.
This is an Amy Carrico pattern that she is not currently offering called Cuddle Up Romper. My first time through it this year it ended up rather large using the suggested D hook, thus it becoming an outfit for the larger baby doll.
Notes:
The yarn for this project was Baby Bernat Sport Yellow and Pink.
Shirt:
I used a C hook for the shirt for everything but the sleeves. I used a B hook for the sleeves to keep them from becoming too large.
I followed the rest of the directions as written.
Pants:
I used a B hook for the pants. Oddly with the smaller hook the legs joined easier than when the pants were larger. Not sure why. Amy's footed pj type pants are the rare occasion I don't make my pants top down regardless of the way a pattern is written. It really isn't practical to make these feeted pj type pants from the top down thus the need to join the legs.
Reminder to myself to follow all the waist directions including waist band to get to correct decreases for fit.
Headband:
I believe I used the D hook for the handband and it fit as suggested.
