11.5" Fashion Doll Panties/Knickers in yarn (Barbie)

This is my pattern for yarn panties to suit a fashion doll as requested by someone at Crochetville as posted originally at Crochetville. I personally used both a modern and an older Barbie doll but I'd guess they'd suit any fashion doll. I would like to say this is in the public domain, I can't see copyrighting anything like this any kind of achievement. Feel free to use it as a basic guideline to experiment from.

I used a really fine baby yarn and 3.25mm or US-0 hook

end off

I looped a ribbon between the top stitch both front and back on either side and tied but you could just as easily use crochet chains. I worked in a small hair tie in the first and last rounds with no difficulty. Experiment with it :)

PS. This is untested and I am no way affiliated with Matel
Oh, yes I am Australian but I speak crochet in US terms so don't think you need to convert anything

My first free pattern, a Tatted Dragonfly!

Tatted Dragonfly



















Required: one shuttle wound with thread (will be great to use up shuttle ends)

start your ring with a 8-10" tail thread

R 3-----2-----4-4-----2-----3
C 12 (you are making the chain with the tail you left)
Cut central picot at the peak

In long terms it would be;

Make a ring of 3ds, very very long picot, 2ds, very very long picot, 4ds, small picot, 4ds, very very long picot,3ds
Chain 12 with the 8-10" tail you left
Cut central picot (or small picot)


Now, I didn't sew in my ends as they're at the base of the tail I knotted them, added a tiny amount of glue, twisted them together and then cut 1mm from the knot. It made it look like the tail tapered off.
