Lacy dress

This cute dress is modelled by Isabelle Faye, pattern purchased from ToysWereUsPatterns on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/268143317/vintage-crochet-pattern-pdf-baby-dolls?ref=yr_purchases It was made using a 4mm hook and DK yarn (Hobbycraft Women's Institute),
I haven't yet tried making the pants.



Lilac and white tracksuit

This cute tracksuit is also designed for the original 1985 dolls. It is modelled by new doll Isabelle Faye (unknown real name as I bought her second hand without the name certificate). She is one of the 'poodle headed' dolls with wheat coloured hair. The tracksuit was from a pattern sold by Smalls and Dolls Wear on Etsy  https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/639321419/vintage-crochet-patterns-15-16-18-inch?ga_search_query=cabbage%2Bpatch&ref=shop_items_search_3&pro=1
use the pattern labelled 'David' (originally for a boy doll but unisex really).
I used caron simply soft (aran) yarns and a 4mm hook to meet the gauge (tension).
I will be making more items from this pattern in the near future.
