Lots to Love 8 Inch Baby Doll Christmas Dress
This outfit was created adapting Amy Carrico's Springs Set for the 8 inch Baby doll and playing with Darsk's free hat pattern from Baby's first Christmas pattern found here.
Amy Carrico's pattern used to be available on Etsy but is still listed as being available for purchase on Ravelry here.
Notes:
After making the Spring outfit for the 2026 donation I decided to try this with size 3 thread as the red sport yarn I had was too heavy when I tried it.
Dress:
I followed the hook suggestions I used with the yarn and I found this worked for the thread. The first 2 rows with a C hook and finish with a B hook.
For this outfit I chose to continue to turn even after joining as I wanted a different look than the Spring dress.
Panties:
I'm continuing to play with the panties to get them to fit this doll as I find they are either too big or too small. So still a work in progress.
Shoes:
I used a C hook with the shoes and followed the pattern as written. Shoes fit well with thread.
Hat:
I used the brim from Darski's hat pattern. I may try to enlarge the Barbie pattern for the Lil Cutesies doll when I make her Christmas outfit. This wasn't quite the look I was hoping to make.
