Calico Critters Mom Empire Dress

To the best of my knowledge this is the only Critters pattern from Char patterns. You can purchase the pattern here.

I've been collecting crochet critter patterns for a bit now. At one point I had some young family members who enjoyed the toys. Now that they seem to have moved passed that interest I've decided to add a set of bunnies to the donation. I've also been on the look out for patterns I didn't previously have. I've found a couple of paid and free patterns this year that have made this a fun project.

I've also discovered that the some of the Critter patterns can be adapted for Chelsea. I'm experimenting with this one to see if it will work for Stacie as well

Notes:

I originally decreased to size 20 thread and a 1 mm hook as that has been my go to for this Calico patterns but much to my surprise it wasn't even close. I went back to size 10 as suggested and a b hook for the dress to get it to fit. I used a 1.25mm hook for the trim around the neck and arms.

I added color trim to the neck and back to finish the dress before adding the snap. I used the white to finish off the arms as they were slightly ragged before finishing.
