Sunny Day Sensations for 18-Inch Dolls

This month, Carol Hegar from Shady Lane Original Crochet Designs has given us a copy of her Sunny Day Sensations for 18-Inch Dolls ePattern to review and a second copy to giveaway!

This 16-page ePattern includes crochet patterns for 3 complete outfits for your 18-Inch Doll. All projects are crocheted with a 3.5 mm (E) hook and Baby, Sport or DK Weight Yarn.

These projects are crocheted using simple stitches: single crochet (sc), double crochet (dc), half double crochet (hdc) and treble crochet (tr). You will find the full abbreviations list on page 2. To learn how to do the easy dropped dc method, Carol has prepared a helpful video tutorial here.

Create these sensational outfits for your 18-Inch American Girl, or similarly sized dolls. There are three completely different looks included in this ePattern.

18-Inch Doll Crochet Patterns

  • Butterfly Outfit | 6 medium snap sets | two 3/8″ pearl buttons for the shoes
  • Flower Bud Outfit | 5 medium snap sets | four 5/8″ flower buttons for shoes and collar trim
  • Capri Outfit | 2 medium snap sets | 26-inches of 1/8-inch ribbon

Butterfly Outfit

Unique vest with butterfly detail on back. This is done through a dropped dc method that I have used in many of my afghan and potholder patterns. The design is created by cleverly placed dropped dc stitches. There is a video how-to tutorial on my website showing just how easy it is to do. And color changes are at the beginning of rows so you are only working with one color at a time. So easy. Complete the look with a dress with a full flounce and sandals.

Flower Bud Outfit

Another design using the dropped dc method featuring a 2-color flower bud skirt edging. Again each color change is done at beginning of rounds so you only work with one color at a time. Matching accessories include shoes and a tote bag.

Capri Outfit

Unusual vertical striped capris in 3 colors, a top, shoes and hat. The colors for the capris are carried up the side and later worked over so you don’t have so many loose ends to weave in.

The Sunny Day Sensations for 18-Inch Dolls ePattern is available for purchase from Shady Lane Original Crochet Designs. The current price (which is subject to change) at the time of this post being written is $8.95 USD.

    I love all of these outfits but I think the capri one is the cutest. Shady Lane does the most cutest outfits for the American doll. I love all her designs.
