This is one of Darski's free Dora the Explorer patterns that I use for both the Rag Doll and the 16 inch baby doll. You can find it here.
I generally change to an I hook for the skirt but life happens and I did not. I have made additional notes on the pattern and here to remind myself as I will be making this for one of the 16 inch baby dolls, too.
Notes:
This was made with worsted weight 4 yarn in red, white, and light pink. I've traded off over the years using dark red or dark pink.
I use a K hook for the top portion of the dress switching to an I hook for the skirt in Row 8
The dress is joined after row 7.
In order to get this to fit both dolls I need to chain 8 for the arm holes.
Eventually these have to be reduced as the waist will be too large. It is a balance but this was made for Dora not the two dolls I use it for and the dimensions are different.
I finished the back adding a button hole loop.
