With this Lots to Love 14 Inch Baby doll outfit I move from Christmas to Valentine's Day for the doll donation. The beauty of the Valentine's projects is most are able to be worn more through out the year. Some pieces can even be split and worn with other outfits as they don't scream Christmas.
The main portion of this outfit is made with Darski's free Sweet Baby Mine pattern found here. I used the dress, cape, and headband found in the much larger set.
The shoes, and undies I made using Amy Carrico's Spring Dress pattern which is listed as being sold on Ravelry here. Her patterns show up and disappear between Etsy and Ravelry so I make no promises. I've bought just about every baby doll pattern she has available for the sizes I donate because I love her designs. They just aren't always easy to locate.
Notes:
The dress is made with Walmart's Mainstays Pink Blend. I picked up more of this because I do like it for this outfit and at some point it will be discontinued. I believe the pink is the same Pretty and Pink.
I use an I hook for the dress thus ignoring the directions after row 5 to change hook sizes.
The directions are changed to join the dress after row 5.
To get to this length I add rows trying it on until I like the length.
I follow the directions for the cape and headband as written except I join the headband sewing the flower over the join.
Amy Carrico's pattern requires baby sport weight yarn and I used pink and white baby bernat sport and an e hook for the panties and the shoes.
I followed the shoes as written.
The panties require working to 32 sc to get it wide enough to fit the doll. I then add some rows to get it to fit over the diaper.
