Many years before I started this project and before I was making doll clothes for my nieces my now deceased Aunt taught me the basics of knitting and crochet. I never got far with knitting but I learned to love crochet so much that when my nieces outgrew their dolls I started donating clothes. Several years after I started making doll clothes my Aunt started giving me 18 inch doll phamplets she'd collected over the years. Some of I used consistently over the years and others like this pattern set I've never used. When I started the nightgown challenge this year I decided to dig it out and give it a go.
This pattern set includes a nightgown, robe, pj's and a blanket. Due to time I only made the nightgown. I'd like to try the nightgown with the robe another year.
Notes: I used the suggested e hook with Bernat Baby Big Ball Yarn in yellow.
After starting the bottom I stopped and finished the top as it was larger than I needed and having the top indicated how long the bottom was going to need to be.
In the future I'd use a D hook or consider size 3 thread as this was bigger than expected. I think the thread would make for a more finished look.
I'm still processing the last donation box on Veteran's Day but with this I am done with my items for the 2025 donation. This will be dropped off at the beginning of December. On to 2026!!!
