Simple Knit and Crochet for Simply Amis

Violette and Mignonette have some new clothing patterns to share with you!  A pattern for a simple top-down knit sweater can also be a dress, a turtleneck, a smock, or a nightgown; and overalls can also be a bibbed dress.



And Mignonette has a couple of wardrobe items of her own...


All of these patterns are knit or crocheted with fingering weight yarn; I used some stash sock yarns, Brown Sheep Naturespun fingering, and Knit Picks Palette.  The knits were done with size 3 (3.25mm) needles, and the crochet with size D hook.

  3. I am so glad that you are adding simple outfits. As you know, I have not been knitting or crochet for very long. For me, simple is better! I hope to make some of these and give them out to little girls in our church next Christmas. Thank you Beth

    1. Sandra, how lovely to make these dolls for Christmas! I was in the mood for simple, which is why I used fingering yarn instead of perle cotton. Simple is sweet :-)

      Warmly,

      Beth

  6. Hello,
    I was wondering if you have the pattern for the plain doll without clothes. I am trying to make a doll for my daughter but I am having a hard time finding the pattern for just a doll that doesn't have the clothes build in

    1. Yes I do! Just scroll down the left sidebar of this blog until you get to 'Simply Ami Crochet Patterns' and you will see a pattern for the doll only; and several patterns for clothing for her.

      warmly,

      Beth
