Summer Jammies 18″ Doll Clothes Knitting Pattern
Every doll needs pretty summery pyjamas. This design is a knitting pattern which includes instructions to create a pair of short pyjamas (sleeveless top with a lacey collar) and 3/4 shorts. There is a lacey stitch on the hem of the shorts, top and collar. Construction of the top: The top is knitted flat from hem upwards in one piece and separated at the armholes, then each section (left front, back and right front) are knitted separately. There is a front closure with 3 buttons. The pants: Starting with both legs then joined together to create the crotch and upper part of the pants. There are eyelet rows at the waist band and also at the end of the lacey pattern rows on the pants. You can either insert an I-cord or a ribbon. Accessories: The pattern also includes a hair tie and instructions how to make a pair of slippers using foam craft as soles and a knitted ruffle on the top part.
