This is adorable. It would be perfect for a family camping trip. You little girl and her 'little girl' can sleep together.

This is absolutely adorable! You are just too crafty!! My granddaughter would love it. May I have your permission to sell the finished product in my Etsy Shop, with a link to your blog? Thank you :)

No online sales. It is my intention to offer this item for sale in my own Etsy shop.

I would like to make and sell items from some of your patterns at the Greenbelt Craft Fair this December. All proceeds will go to charity (I haven't picked the charity for this year yet, but last year it was Gulf Coast Jewish Family Services.) May I have permission for this?

It will be okay to make and sell items to benefit charity. As long as there is no personal gain.

Thanks, I appreciate it! :-)

I love it! I'm trying to make one for my daughter and on round 1 it says "work in opposite side of starting chain and sc in each of 23 chain stitches. DO NOT join rounds. [60 sc]" Isn't there more than 23 chain stitches? If I stop on chain 23 it doesn't get me to the end! Is this an error?

Should work out, but if it doesn't just work however many sc you need to finish the round.

Great pattern, making it with "Monet" Red Heart Super Saver, it is coming out beautiful. I made yellow PJ's and slippers to give as a gift to a special 8 year old girl.
Thank you for sharing your patterns and talents.

Did not want to go purchase poly fiber fill so I chopped up knee highs and panty hose to fill the pillow. Looks like it worked.

Sure love this sleeping bag pattern. I have made it several times for my granddaughters. I've made it for the Dora doll and it works great. It's an easy pattern to make and to follow. Thanks so much for sharing this.

Can anyone help? Stuck at Round 19! I have sewn pillow closed and ch 30, but I don't understand how to proceed to: "sc in first sc of round 19". Does the ch 30 get attached to the pillow and then I work on the bag part of the pattern in a circular way? ~ Thanks in advance for your help.

First you don't "sew" the pillow closed, you should've sc the edges together. Then ch 30 and go back to the beginning sc of the sts used to close the pillow and sc in the first sc. Then the remainder of the sleeping bag is worked in rounds

I am looking forward to making this for my granddaughters for Christmas. I was wondering if instead of crocheting in the round for the sleeping bag part would it be possible to crochet in rolls for half of it , making it easier to open out to get the doll in and out? Any suggestion?
# posted by Anonymous Beth : 8:10 AM
 
You could turn instead of joining rounds for a few rounds.

I am new to crocheting and love this idea. Any chance of doing a video for this?
# posted by Blogger Chrissie : 9:48 AM
 
I don't do videos.

Love this pattern, I am making a couple for Christmas presents for my nieces. I was wondering if it would be ok to sell some after the holidays. I read previous comments and you said you were going to put them on your etsy page. But it doesn't look like you did.
# posted by Blogger Unknown : 7:50 PM
 
You can sell to friends or at craft shows, but not online.

You just made my Christmas merrier.

This pattern is very confusing.
You should do a video

# posted by Blogger Gigi : 3:52 PM
 
Sorry you find it confusing. However I don't do videos, haven't the equipment to do videos or the inclination.

I think if you take it one instructions at a time, you can do it.

Stuck on round 1. Can you please clarify this part for me:

"Working over yarn tail for remainder of this round, 3 sc in last ch, work in opposite side of starting chain"
# posted by Blogger Unknown : 6:34 PM
 
I love this my grand daughter has an American doll so I'm making it for her.
# posted by Blogger Unknown : 12:26 PM
 
I have a silly question, I’m working on the pillow part. When I get my rounds done, do I fold it long ways or short ends together? Does that make sense, clear as mud lol? Thank you!!

You won't be folding it, it will form a pocket.
