As promised I'm using some of my final crochet time before the donation is due to get some casual clothes finished for the Glitter Girl. While I love her dresses I also think she needs some other types of clothes.
This was made using Pamela Yarborough's Butterfly Pant Set Pattern that can be purchased here.
Notes:
This was a scrap project made with left over Red Heart and Caron Pounder yarns. It's that time of year when it is so nice to be able to use up lots of left over skeins.
I made a modified version of these pants once before and for the Glitter Girl the crotch split comes to early so I had to add to rows prior to switching. However, the pant legs were long and to include the trim, which I didn't on previous attempt, I needed to reduce the leg count. I crocheted over a hair elastic to give the waist an elastic waist band. This also makes it easier to keep the pants from being either too loose and slipping off or too tight to pull up on the doll.
I used a G hook for the pants.
For some reason I seem to be struggling to attach straps. This is the second project that has made me crazy trying to get straps on and I've done them for years. I do prefer arm holes to straps but the directions were clear it shouldn't be a problem.
I chose not to have the shirt slide on and off as this can be challenging. I did not join and added snaps to close. This part worked well.
The shoes worked well with a 3.0mm hook.
The hat calls for a G hook I'd consider going down to my e hook as it is a bit large.
