After succesfully converting this pattern to thread from the suggested 4 ply yarn I have had to reorder some baby doll friendly colors for my doll projects. When I first started using thread for doll clothes Aunt Lydia's was my major provider for thread. However, the selection of colors and sizes has sadly become more limited over the years and I've found myself having to expand my search to different vendors to get more colors and thread sizes.
For my own records since I sometimes lose the labels for the threads and have to do some detective work to hunt down the brand so I can reorder, this is size 10 Apricot from Thread Art. I am almost done with my last cone of this color. I have just about enough for some trim but not enough for even a small doll project.
I plan on experimenting with more of Petite Doll's smaller doll designs in thread as I find mine are a bit bulky in thread. I like the lighter look and feel in size 10 thread.
Notes:
As mentioned this is one of Petite Doll's designs available for purchase here.
I previously made and posted about making this for the Lil Cutesies doll. While slightly different in size I've found most patterns can accomadate both dolls.
I do not use the tie directions for this doll I join all rows. I added a row at the top before making arm holes as it seemed a bit short for this doll as written.
While the stitch count works on the dress moving to thread the pants did not and I had to move to a chain of 64 to get the pants to fit. I eventually reduced it to 62 as I progressed making each leg count 31.
I liked the ch 3 trim on the shorts legs last time so I didn't even attemp the picot.
The booties worked as written.
Still struggling with headband. I ended up using hdc and following directions with this stitch rather than dc as it was rather large with dc.
