This is adorable. It would be perfect for a family camping trip. You little girl and her 'little girl' can sleep together.
ReplyDeleteHere you go again! You come up with THE best patterns! Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteThis 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 :)
ReplyDeleteNo online sales. It is my intention to offer this item for sale in my own Etsy shop.
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteIt will be okay to make and sell items to benefit charity. As long as there is no personal gain.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I appreciate it! :-)
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteShould work out, but if it doesn't just work however many sc you need to finish the round.
ReplyDeleteGreat 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.
ReplyDeleteThank 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.
ReplyDeleteSure 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.
ReplyDeleteCan 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.
ReplyDeleteFirst 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
ReplyDeleteThank you! We have a slumber party/birthday party coming up soon. Hopefully, I will get it finished in time!
ReplyDeleteI am making this for the preemie angels.I donate burial clothes for Angels and donate them to a hospital.I was so Happy to hear you approve of using your pattern for charity.
DeleteI had never thought of making them for preemies.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea.
Your quite welcome.I intend to make them in different sizes as the Angels come at different stages of pregnancy.I also make gowns, fetal demise pouches and Thank God,some Take me home sweaters and blankets.
DeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteYou could turn instead of joining rounds for a few rounds.
ReplyDeleteI am new to crocheting and love this idea. Any chance of doing a video for this?
ReplyDeleteI don't do videos.
ReplyDeleteLove 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.
ReplyDeleteYou can sell to friends or at craft shows, but not online.
ReplyDeleteHow wide is it?
ReplyDeleteSee above for measurements.
ReplyDeletemy granddaughter absolutely loves this pattern and wants more in different colors. Thank You Cheryl
ReplyDeleteYou just made my Christmas merrier.
ReplyDeleteThis pattern is very confusing.
ReplyDeleteYou should do a video
Sorry you find it confusing. However I don't do videos, haven't the equipment to do videos or the inclination.
ReplyDeleteI 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:
ReplyDelete"Working over yarn tail for remainder of this round, 3 sc in last ch, work in opposite side of starting chain"
I love this my grand daughter has an American doll so I'm making it for her.
ReplyDeleteI 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!!
ReplyDeleteYou won't be folding it, it will form a pocket.
