Green Cotton Spring Dress for Les Cherie Doll

Your Corolle Les Cherie Doll will  be ready for a lovely spring day in this dress. My sweet Clara is wearing a cotton dress designed and hand knit by me.  Knit with cotton yarn on U.S. Size 5 needles, the dress closes with 2 heart shaped buttons at the back.

Clara is one of the 4 Les Cherie dolls by Corolle.  She is 13 inches tall, a slender vinyl doll that has a wonderful vanilla scent. Clara is part of my "Dressing Our Dolls" display.  The display will be in one of the local public libraries this summer.

I enjoy creating outfits for Clara.  Here's her blue coat inspired by a pattern for the Mary Hoyer doll.

Dress is available in my Etsy Shop.  Contact me for a special order in the color of your choice.

A New Dress for my American Girl

This hand knit dress is the latest addition to my collection.  Once again this summer my dolls and their hand made outfits will be on display. It is my hope that the presentation will encourage others to learn to knit and sew.

Dress is knit in one piece, split for the bodice and then seamed at the center back.  The pattern is a chevron pattern knit on U.S. size 6 needles using Plymouth Encore DK weight yarn.  It is from one of my favorite doll pattern booklets,  Dolly Mixture #622 by Plymouth Yarn.  Unfortunately, this booklet is out of print but it is available from several sources on the web.
