Crochet You: T-Shirt

I skipped over pants and shorts to get to the T-Shirt, so that my doll would have a top to go with her skirt. I chose a varigated yarn that I thought would match the skirt. IRL, it matches better than the photographs. The color changes didn’t work out as well as I hoped… I wanted the turquoise up higher on the shirt so it had a different color right next to the blue. However, this isn’t terrible.
Crochet You: Skirt

The next article of clothing in the Crochet You book is a cute skirt with a scallop trim on the bottom. I liked this blue color with the hair and skin of the doll. I also have a varigated skein of yarn that I think will look cute used for a tshirt to go with it. The skirt is worked in continuous rows around, except for a few rows at the beginning. They are worked back and forth to create an enlarged opening for dressing the doll.
Crochet You: Underwear

The first clothing pattern in the book was for Underwear. Because I’m not using the same weight of yarn called for, it required a bit of experimentation, but I settled on ILTY from Hobby Lobby in white, and a 3.75mm hook. The pattern is simple and works up quickly. However, the way the “legs” were done seem a bit awkward to me. The pattern is worked from the bottom to the waist.
Crochet You: Hair

I posted the first installment of this project on March 4th. Finally, after almost two weeks, I’m back on track. Unfortunately, my whole family came down with a nasty virus, and we’ve ALL been sick, including me! I sincerely hope that is in the past, and I can move on with this project! When the body is finished, the next step is to give the doll hair. A kind of wig cap is crochet, creating “rows” by only using the back or front loop of the rows. The wig cap is sewn onto the head, and then individual strands of hair are crocheted into the remaining loops.
Crochet You

I’ve had this book on my shelves for a while now. I finally felt like I could handle the patterns, so for the last week, I’ve been crocheting the basic doll. I used I Love This Yarn (from Hobby Lobby) in the “Fuzzy Slippers” color. I use this color a lot to make doll bodies. I don’t mind that it’s varigate shades from white to peach, and I think it makes an interesting doll body.
