Doll Clothes - Knit and Crochet

[Shandeh]

Do the rest of you knit or crochet doll clothing?

I like finding dolls at thrift shops, cleaning them up, dressing them, and giving them to the children's shelter in my area.

I'm always looking for new patterns. What have you found?

I was trying to down load some pictures but my phone just won't work right tonight. Any way. I work with the 5" dolls. The books I have are called the Tote Along Bassinets. The bassinets fold up to make a purse. The books also include patterns for the doll, the dresses, diaper sets, bonnets, pinafores, sun suits, diapers, shorts, jumpsuits, pajamas, and a lot more. I love making the purses with the baby's to match for the granddaughters.

Those sound so sweet!
I found a 12 inch baby doll this week, for a dollar. It's in great shape!
I'm hoping to make a frilly dress, bonnet, and booties.

Finally got the pictures to work.

Thanks, I thought you'd like them. This one shows the clothes a little better.

Bonnets, booties, and frilly dresses! Just like I want to make. I'm thinking of making some knitted as well as crochet. I just hope I can make them work for the different sized dolls I have.
