AG DOLL ICE SKATING OUTFIT

Thank you Vanessa for testing this pattern.


Because of the buttons this outfit isn’t suitable for a child under three years old.

Round 15 edited on 4/28/2013
MATERIALS:Worsted weight yarn approximately 3 ounces main color
Worsted weight yarn small amount trim color
US size H (5.0 mm) and size I (5.5 mm) crochet hooks
9 inches of 1/4 inch elastic
3 5/8 to 3/4 inch buttons
Needle and thread for sewing elastic and buttons
Tapestry needle

NOTES:
1. Read instructions all the way through before beginning.
2. Pull joining slipstitches tight.
3. Chains at beginning of rows and rounds don’t count as first st.
4. Yarns used Red Heart Super Saver Cherry. Trim Wool-Ease White Frost
5. If your stitch counts are off a stitch or two don’t sweat it. I made three of these outfits and I couldn’t seem to come up the same. So the stitch counts are approximate.
6. The buttons are fairly large to make it easy for little fingers. Be sure they are sewn on tightly.

Comments:
Suzetta, I love it! Thank you for a well done pattern my little girl will love for me to make her.

Do you have a stitch gauge? Lately when I use the recommended yarn and hook, my item comes out too large. This ice skating outfit is cute . However my niece has the doll in Connecticut and I am in Florida. I am afraid without a gauge the size would be off.

 
Sorry I don't gauge and don't have one of the outfits any more.
 
Ask the child's mother for the measurements on the doll that you need while designing,which is what I need right now two also, I want to make a surprise outfit for the young girl upstairs who I know has a doll, because this is what I have done for 45 years and plan to do for allot more. I hope the suggestion is helpful. Theta Vaughn (designer for all & any dolls).
 
I’m not understanding how to do the pants no picture to even show you what your suppose to do I’m not understanding the directions
 
Sorry you are able to figure it out.
