Mita’s Party Dress & Sweater Combo 18″ Doll Knitting Pattern
Let the party begin! Your favorite doll is dressed and ready in this new dress by My AG Doll Creations. The short puffy sleeves mirror the pattern featured in the open lace work in the full skirt of this pretty dress.
Embellish the extended waist-line with ribbon bows, jewels, or whatever your imagination creates. Pair it with the shorter purse and you are ready to go. This may seem like a complicated pattern but it is actually quite easy.
It is knit from the neck down so all you have are the sleeve and back seams to sew. You will notice that the pattern does not include buttonholes. I have found that if small enough buttons are used they fit nicely through the stitches. Or you may choose to use snaps in the placket and put the buttons on the outside for looks. Either way is very attractive.
The sweater features the same short sleeves and the rib stitch on the body makes it perfect for wearing over skirts and of course pants. Turn it around for a different look as a cardigan. Pair it with the longer purse for a day on the town. Included with the pattern are the instructions for a tulle half slip. It really fills out the skirt and shows off the pretty open lace design. Not to worry if you don’t have a sewing machine as it can easily be sewn by hand. It’s the little things like the slip that really make the dress special and perfect for your next party!
This pattern by My AG Doll Creations is designed to fit 18″ dolls such as American Girl®.
