I love the way the internet connects us. I subscribe to Creative Jewish Mom's website and they have a great feature called Craft Schooling Sunday and this week they featured this doll poncho from Lanas de Ana's Blog.
I long to learn how to to crochet and this pattern reminds me that I need to get myself to a class.
Check out Lanas de Ana's Blog by clicking here and I highly recommend Creative Jewish Mom.Com
for so many wonderful craft ideas.
For some reason the pattern is now missing for the doll, but as I clicked through the links the pattern was based on this one click here for the original pattern
For the pattern: This is from http://www.lemondedesucrette.com/2010/10/13/about-ponchos-and-pattern-d/
All you have to make is a chain big enough to enter through Baby (or Doll) head and a multiple of 8: (It is very important that the chain is a multiple of 8!! For the baby I made a chain of 72)
and after that you follow this graphic pattern:
I am truly sorry for the missing pattern and hope that it can be adapted from the one above.
As with all my posts I would love to hear from you so please leave me a comment here or email me at karenmowen@gmail.com
There are no actual instructions on how to make this - I have searched through both sites, but just links to the pictures. Would have been lovely if there had been a pattern for those who have difficulties...hmmm...perhaps when I am feeling better I will do one.

ReplyDeleteSorry for some reason the pattern had disappeared I clicked through the links and found the poncho the doll one was based on. I am truly sorry and have no idea where the instructions went.
Tank you Karen, you are a star!
DeleteThanks Karen......This looks perfect!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope this is okay I worry that it is not enough to go on, not being able to read a pattern myself.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Karen, when I make it I will write notes, and let you know if there are any alterations(which there will probably be) for making AG size. :-)
DeleteYou tube is a great place to learn to crochet! Check out "crochet geek". ;). She's amazing, I learned a lot from her, have fun!
ReplyDeleteJust clicked on your link via Pinterest and what a surprise to find you giving me such a great review, not to mention that I totally forgot that I featured this on Craft schooling Sunday! all the best and happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteI used a chain of 63 for Kip (American Girl doll) and only one color (because I'might lazy). Thanks for the pattern! (I have a pic to share, if I can figure out how to.)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this pattern! For once I am perfectly happy with how it came out, on the first try! I used worsted weight (regular) yarn, a G/6 hook,and my starting chain was 40. Fits my AG and bitty dolls. Came out so cute, I can't wait to make more. Only took me about an hour to make. Thanks again for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAmei, é um objeto lúdico, lindo, me inspirou fazer para presentear minhas netas,logo eu que não fazia questão de brincar de bonecas na infância, senti vontade de fazê-lo com minhas netas, obrigada!
ReplyDeleteTranslation into English reads, "it's a playful, beautiful object, it inspired me to give my granddaughters, so I did not make a point of playing dolls in childhood, I felt like doing it with my granddaughters, thank you!" Thank you Edineia! Happy Crocheting!
