Autumn in Allegheny

 

 

 

 

 

This is the outfit I started on the bus when bringing Dora home for the first time. I just never got around to writing the pattern parts. Well, I just started with the hat and poncho but they just seem to grow from there.

 

The Hat

 

Ch 4 join with a slip st. (join every row)

 

Row 1: 8 dc into ring

 

Row 2: 2 dc into every dc

 

Row 3: dc around with 2dc into every other st

 

Row 4: hdc around.

 

Row 5: hdc around.

 

Row 6: work 2 hdc then work fpdc into st 2 rows below.

 

Row 7: hdc around.

 

Row 8: work hdc into hdc FPdc around FPdc.

 

Row 9: work hdc around

 

Row 10: Work DC around. Join, ch 1 and turn

 

Row 11: work DC around

 

Row 12: Work hdc around. Break off.

 

Turn up the last 2 rows to form brim.

 

The Poncho…

 

Remember to plan for a closure

 

Row 1: Chain 21 and work 2 sc into every ch. Ch 1 turn

 

Row 2: Work 2hdc, FPdc around ending with 3 hdc. Ch 1 turn

 

 

Row 3: work hdc around

 

Row 4: Work hdc, hdc increase, FPdc around. Ch 1 and turn.

 

 

Rows 5-8: work as for rows 3 and 4 increasing by one hdc between FPdc on right side rows. Notes: You should have 5 hdc between FPdc sts.

Join after 7th row and work in the round.

 

Rows 9 & 10: work DC around and break off .

 

Sew on buttons even if you used Velcro.

 

Pants…

 

Row 1: 40 sc around elastic base and join. this is Centre back

 

Rows 2- 5: hdc in every hdc. Place marker on 21st hdc – just as a reminder

 

 

Row 6: 2hdc in 1st hdc, hdc in next 18 hdc, 2hdc in next 2 hdc, hdc in next 18 hdc, 2hdc in last hdc.

 

 

Row 7: 2hdc in 1st hdc, hdc in next 20 hdc, 2hdc in next 2 hdc, hdc in next 20 hdc, 2hdc in last hdc.

 

 

Row 8: sc in every hdc around and join to first sc, do not break off. Find the sc that is half way around and slst together to form the crotch. Do not break off.

 

Legs:

Row 1: hdc dec, hdc around and join

Row 2: hdc around to last two, hdc dec, join.

Rows 3 – 7 hdc around, join

Row 4: work hdc around but work dec about every 4th st.

Row 5: sc around and join. Break off

 

Attach yarn again and complete 2nd leg

 

White Pullover sweater

 

 

 

 

– finer weight of WW yarn and smaller hook.

 

Pattern stitch can be worked across front sts if you want to do so.

Pattern st – work: (hdc, tr in next) across

Don’t forget your closure method.

 

Chain 5 and work a 4-stitch SC ribbing for 30 rows.

 

Row 1: Work (sc, 2 sc) across top of ribbing – 45 sc

 

Row 2: Work (hdc in 2, 2hdc in next) across – 60 hdc.

 

Row 3: Work hdc in 7, hdcV-st in next, hdc in 13, hdcV-st in next, hdc in 16, hdcV-st in next, hdc in 13, hdcV-st in next, hdc in 7. This begins to mark out sleeves.

 

Row 4: sc back

 

Rows 5-8: Continue these rows –hdc in hdc and V-st in V-st across and then SC back.

 

Row 9: hdc across leaving out the sleeve stitches.

 

Row 10: sc back working BPdc in every other stitch.

 

Row 11: hdc across working FPdc into previous post stitches. Break off

 

Sleeves…

Attach yarn and work 7 more rows of hdc but finishing the last two by working the FPdc ribbing as for the hem of the sweater.

 

I have the original boots that I made for this outfit but they are so big and loose that I haven’t written the pattern. When I get a good one I like, I will post it. I’m much better at this shoes and boots now

I'm having so much fun making these clothes. I may not be able to give the dolls to my granddaughters when they get here. This is another beautiful outfit. Thank You!!

Something just occurred to me... the sweater looks like a pullover but it isn't really (because of that head issue thingy) it just looks like a pullover is all. it's a pseudo pullover... yeah that's the ticket

[Riohnna]

Very pretty!

[yarncat]

Wonderful outfit,Darski!Thanks for the pattern.

[Julexia]

Another great Dora pattern! Thanks, Darski!

I have all of your Dora patterns in a binder! I am going to hopefully start on some of these great outfits tomorrow!

Have a great day!

[benee16]

Beautiful!!! I can't wait to work on this one. The patterns work up nicely!! I'm really going to have to print them all up and put them in a binder too.

[diamond]

What a great pattern and great way to practice the front double post and back double post. Looks like cables to me! Great job, Darski. All Dora's clothes are adorable!

[lhasaapsolady]

Darski you sure are keeping busy with these outfits, another great one.

[tiggerhale]

Thank you! (I love the colorful names you come up with!)

[Shell]

Darski that little sweater is adorable! well.. the whole outfit is Iam just mesmerized by the jumper

 

(sorry, we aussies call sweaters a jumper!! it just hit me that you call many clothes jumpers butnot sweaters)

[myashleyangel87]

I just can't keep up!! lol I made the nightie & undies over the weekend and my dd loved it!! I come back today to think of what to make next and theres two more new ones!! Thanks!! They are all great & I'm gonna be busy for a while!! I was crochet crazy for the christmas holiday, and I slowed down for a while not knowing what to make. But boy do I ever have a "to make" list now!! LOL

When making the elastic waistband, I found that overlapping the ends of the elastic and then sewing them together makes a nice flat seam. It makes it easier to trim close to the seam.

I would have suggested that but since I no longer sew, I didn't like to mention what I don't do myself.

 

Thank you for this. It would be much tidier than the tying. I heartily recommend it instead of my way.

[luv2stitch]

Oh my gosh! These are just so nice. Thanks!

[christinascrochethaven]

Once again...simply elegant...beautiful! Great job:cheer

Daski--

I'm new and love your patterns. I am having trouble with hat. I.m using WW yarn and an I hook. It's way too small for Dora's huge cabasa. What am I doing wrong? any suggestions? Thanks Jana
