The two 16 Inch Baby dolls are some of the last Christmas outfits I need for the 2026 donation. I don't have specific Christmas patterns but I decided to take some classic patterns and use them for this project. This is Darski's free I Feel Pretty pattern found here. The shoes are another of her free patterns found here.
Notes:
The green yarn is a sport weight metallic yarn that was given to me a while back and I don't remember where it came from sadly. I tried using it on Darski's Green Christmas Dress for the 18 inch doll a few years back and it proved to be too light and ended up making an outfit for the Glitter Girl. I've not seen anything online similiar to this yarn.
The red is old Red Heart Sport and the white Bernat sport baby yarn.
I used an H hook for the dress. There is a correction for row 5 that requires a start of 9 dc not 8.
I did the first white contrast row where suggested, but after seeing the look of the red chose to add the additional length rows I need for this doll and end with the contrasting red color at the bottom.
Regarding the panties a note to self legs are formed in row 7. The red yarn was not great for making waist tie so I left it off.
Hat requires a G and F hook. I need 50 chains for hat to tie.
I used sc trim for neck. The arms had a sc to clean them up and then a sc chain 3 for decorative purposes.
With sport yarn the shoes need a J hook to fit.
