I have finished writing and posting a few free knitting patterns which are listed here. The last pattern being inspired by these 1920's nautical style day dresses.
The collar is separate from the dress, the band is also knitted separately and stitched on.
The dress closes at the back with seven small buttons. I have used this pattern with some personal adjustments for my other three girls and will show photos of them later when I have more time.
For Linda: Here is a Paola Reina Las Amigas in the dress, as you can see you would need to adjust the length of the sleeves, but otherwise the fit looks okay.
Look at that cute sailor! I love that shade of blue and the bead details you added. Just the other day I got an ad on Youtube for a knitting/crocheting course and I thought of you.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great weekend.
Thank you MC. I was undecided whether to use this blue or something lighter, as I didn't want to stain my doll. Then I decided it would be fine as long as I only used the dress for photo shoots and didn't leave her in it all day.
DeleteHope you are enjoying your weekend too!

Ooh, sailor dress! It looks so cute on your girl and is just perfect for a sea trip :). Sadly, I know nothing about knitting, so I can't use a patterns... Hugs, hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you Chiriann. That's a shame, I was hoping someone who reads my blog regularly could use the patterns.

I knit, but don't have any dolls like yours. I also haven't had the knitting bug for quite a while. I was trying to finish up a baby bib for a waitress I know who was pregnant, but then she went into labor early and hasn't come back to work yet! I should work on the large afghan I'm making for myself, so it's ready when winter comes back here. Maybe that will help me finish up the Barbie sweater I've had on the needles for months.
ReplyDeleteWell hopefully you'll get the bib finished before she returns to work Barb. 😊 Afghans often take a while to make as they are such a large project, but a Barbie sweater shouldn't take long at all. I think you are like me and need "A ROUND TUIT" !! 🤣

This looks smart! I like the separate collar. Thank you for sharing the pattern; maybe when I'm out of my dolly sweater spree?
ReplyDeleteThank you Uschi, I do too as it adds a little more variety to the set. You are welcome, if you do, please share photos. :)
