Easter Crochet 2014

Easter Doll 2014


This is the largest doll I have made to date. I was surprised just how big it is.
When I found the pattern it was only published in Turkish, I think, but the designer then released it in English, kinda. It isn't a written pattern and you MUST understand how to make a doll to really make this a good looking doll.

I found the doll it this blog.  but can't find the English sheet. Guess it's a good thing I downloaded it when I did.


As you can see the doll is at least 21 inches long.

It needed clothes.


It only has a wig, no hair. I really don't care for nude dolls.

Easter was coming and she needed something to wear along with some hair.


Using eyelash yarn hair was given to the doll in my personal favorite hairstyle,
The Mullet.


This dress was created with a combination of patterns. The top of the dress is a Beth Webber design. Found here, Comfort and Joy
The bottom of the dress is worked in Morning Glory Barbie Dress.
You will need to scroll down the page a bit.
The name of the blog is Lullaby and Lace. It has many nice patterns.

UPDATE: May 28, 2016
It would appear the link is no longer valid for the 
Morning Glory Fashion Doll Dress, glad I printed it. 
From Ravelry page comments:
Even though the website is no longer in existence, patterns are available on Wayback. 
This particular one may be found at the following:
 http://web.archive.org/web/20120123200946/http://lullabiesandlace.com/pdfpatterns/morning_glory_fashion_doll_dress_v2.pdf

Not much else,
Hope your Spring is filled with the pleasant smell of wildflowers.

til next time.

Connie

    A wonderful doll, Connie! I love your use of eyelash yarn for hair :-)

    I hope you are well. Thank you for the condolences on my Mother's passing. Your comment worried me a bit and so I hope you and your loved ones are well. If not, I pray you have strength to meet whatever challenges you.

    Warmly,

    Beth

    Hello Leonora, I follow another blogger and here is a link to her wig tutorials, http://byhookbyhand.blogspot.com/search/label/Wig%20Making she has a lot of great way to work wigs.
    I make a cap for the doll from the head pattern in the back loops and cut my lenghts as long as I need them, fold in half and secure them through themselves in the front loop of the cap
    Hope it helps
    God bless

    Connie
