I'm continuing to work through Crochet Wardrobe for 11 1/2 inch Fashion Dolls including a Complete Wedding Esemble and Trousseau. I promised myself I was going to use these older patterns I had bought that would work for the donation.
Notes:
This was made with Herrschners Size 10 Crochet Thread. I have been using their house brand yarns for the doll project for years. This was my first time using their thread. I love getting different colors, especially when the cost is cheaper and I have a shipping coupon.
I checked several times to make sure this was marked as size 10 but this was clearly not size 10 thread as it was far too thick. I've found between brands there is a range of thickness but this was about half way between 10 and 3. It worked out for this pattern and I if the other colors I bought hold true this could be the answer to some pattern issues I've had that fall between 10 and 3. Size 10 is just too light no matter which hook I use and size 3 is too heavy. This middle size would be perfect for several of my patterns if this isn't just a fluke.
I used a 1.25mm thread hook for this outfit.
As many of these patterns seem similiar this pattern starts on page 20.
This pattern calls for 2 snaps. I placed one at the top and one at the waist the second to last row before starting the skirt.
