This project helped me reach a couple of my goals for this year increasing the number of outfits for the 12" Baby Doll and to use up yarn on hand. I had ordered more Red Heart soft yarn than I needed for another project, so using up a partial skein for this outfit seemed like a good choice. If you don't recognize the pattern, this is the same sundress pattern that I used for the 15" doll dress I made in pink. You can find that pattern here. The Red Heart soft was a lighter yarn and I used a smaller hook. In order to finish off the skein I made a small basket to go with the outfit.
I'm on my way to having a decent number of outfits for the smallest of the donation dolls this year. Being willing to experiment with using the larger doll patterns with lighter yarns and smaller hooks seems to have helped with the job.
has been a staple of my donations for the last few years. I stock up when I find her on sale and it has helped to standardize the patterns I need to work on each year. 
needed a towel. Since the hooded towels are all the rage, why not a crocheted hooded towel for the set. After all, after a bath, baby needs a nice comfy towel to dry off and get warm. This is also part of Maggie’s Crochet baby bath doll pattern set available 
and size 10 thread. I am in the early stages yet, but I found that with the larger handle I was able to make the soap in thread after making a larger one using sports yarn. Since I am also planning a 15" doll donation, I will use the larger items for that doll. I am quite excited about this step. I used a Christmas gift card from Joann’s to get the thread to try out a doll thread pattern that I have wanted to make for some time, but never thought it would be possible. Only time will tell. It is a long way from a soap bar to a doll's dress, but it is a start. I have been so certain I would never get to do any thread projects that I am delighted to have found a tool that works for me.
