In 2025 this was added to Skipper's donation bag in January. This year I made all the dolls Christmas dresses right after I dropped off the donation and here it is the end of October and I'm scrambling to get the last of the fairytale and fantasy outfits finished. No regrets. I love the idea of the children getting these dolls at Christmas having a special outfit for the day to dress up a new toy.
This is another of Mel Garcia Tello's patterns that can be purchased here. I'm hoping to have enough time left to switch and make the Bella dress for Skipper and the Red Riding Hood outfit for Barbie. I still need to make the AG mini Cinderella dress for Skipper to finish off her goals for the year.
Notes:
This is made with Knit Picks Palette yarn Celestian (blue), White, and Cherry. I used a D hook for the dress. I didn't change to a smaller hook for the skirt as I did in the past. I did use a G hook for the hood. I'd suggest a smaller hook for the hood section and stick with the g for the shawl section. The hood is large but the shawl gets too tight with a smaller hook.
My hope is to get to an outfit for the Glitter Girl doll and a mermaid for one of the 18 inch dolls next before returning to the Barbie family of dolls. It is a balancing match but I'm hoping to finish the year strong.
