Links to Offsite Knitting and Crochet Patterns

This skirthttp://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring07/PATTmickey.html can easily be adapted to doll sizes with simple calculations.

 

Here's a link to a pattern for a knit skirt I designed. (Edited because my old blog is dead, and I made the pattern into a pdf.) Ravelry: Spiral Skirt pattern by Ensatina Knits
The dolls is a 27cm AOD NiNi, and there are suggestions for how to make the skirt in other sizes in the pattern.

 

I have posted in the knitting circle thread, but never here before, that I have a site which has some free knitting patterns for dolls. The site is:
http://www.jfcampbell.us/anne/patterns.htm

At the moment, there are three patterns for Tinybear's Moona/Bracken plus two sock patterns. Each sock pattern contains general directions (any size, any gauge) followed by three example patterns. One pattern is for socks that are knit flat and then seamed. The second one is for socks knit in the round from the top down. Other patterns should be added in the future.

 

here comes another hat.

pattern website: http://smariek.blogspot.com/2006/09/asherton-hat.html

same as my first one, this pattern is also in real human size.
I used US#2 needle with Panda Cotton to shrink it to fit her.
(Cristal is DD size head, this hat is also a little bit too large for her and fit SD size head well)

can help with making clothes if you can scale down

 

Melke:
www.knittinghelp.com

They have great videos and it is free!

 

This website has literally close to 1000 patterns for 27cm sized dolls that could work for the bobobie march and isabella, mini gems, and other dolls like that. I found it while trying to find patterns to make clothes for my 27cm obitsu. I thought it would be interesting to post. http://www.stickatillbarbie.se/

 

Just wanted to say thank you so much for that link, I'm -getting- a bobobie march, and you just saved me having to hunt for more patterns!

Edit: This one is good, too! I found it awhile ago, but don't know if I ever posted it. http://barbiebasics.tripod.com/ Great for 27cm dolls, could be scaled up for larger dolls pretty easily, I think, as most of the patterns are quite simple.

 

IDK if it has been mentioned here before but www.knittinghelp.com is a great site for beginners!

 

Here are some free knit patterns for Kelly. They will fit the OD, Pukipuki, Latie White and Brownies. The Kelly patterns start at #641 and continue past 700 so keep looking! They download in several langueas as doc files.

Enjoy!

 

I wrote a knitting pattern for a size 6/7 wig cap with two pages explaining how to make other sizes as well as a page describing how to work Japanese short rows. Because of all the additional information I made it available as a free PDF download from Ravelry. You do not need to be a member to download, that's a "works anywhere" link.

 

Dunno if this has been posted before, but I found a great crochet pattern for making SD sized sweaters. I used it to make a sweater dress for my girl, and I've made a hoodie and regular ol' sweater out of it for my boy.

And this list of links has lots of patterns for doll clothes, and I know that 18 inch doll clothing can be pretty easily modified to fit SDs...

As another tip, you can make some cute stuff by taking inspiration from Amigurumi patterns (crochet dolls and animals)- for instance, that bear hat my girl is wearing? I simply took half of a pattern for a teddy bear head. XD

 

My SD Boy Socks pattern is now available for download as a Word file (.doc) here.

 

Two new free patterns from Undermost Salamander Designs!


by undermost_salamander, on Flickr

They are both available as free .pdf downloads from my Ravelry "store," but I know not everybody is on Ravelry, so I wanted to post links here as well.

The February Dolly Skirt is a fun, feminine, two-layered skirt for MiniGem, Slim Mini, and Standard Mini; those of you who do human knitting may recognise the Gull Lace pattern from Elizabeth Zimmerman's February Baby Sweater. The MiniGem version is done with cobweb-weight yarn and 0.75 & 1.5mm needles; the Mini versions are written for laceweight on 1.5 & 2.25mm needles.

Bernard is a turtleneck for Dollshe and similar size 70cm dolls. It's worked up in laceweight yarn on 1.5mm needles to allow a bit of slouchiness for those ever-so-flexible big guys, and features a twisted rib detail.

More photos on my blog!

 

I've posted these in the knitting circle, but they should be here too. All are for 1/6 BJDs.

Its actually bias tape wrapped around her torso. Sometime, I'd love to rewrap her maybe glue it down to a lining, to save time. I just started by draping it from behind her neck and kept wrapping and wrapping until I ran out of torso to wrap. You could probably do the same with a ribbon.

 

I found this blog, with cute (not too retro) Barbie crochet patterns! Perfect for smaller dolls, easy to customize with thread colors.
Crochet for Barbie (the belly button body type)

 

Love the diamond vest - thanks for sharing the pattern.

 

Great links, thank you. I'm hoping to get my first doll soon and I was getting a little depressed at the lack of patterns in general I was finding on Pinterest.

 

Try Etsy.com and Raverly.com. Both have a lot more patterns than you will find on Pinterest.

 

Including yours.

 

I've translated a knitting pattern from a French blog into English. It's on Google Drive here:

Pouf.pdf

 

Sorry the link in the begin of this topic "crochet pattern central" is strange, I can't find patterns for bjd, when I click on it the page open this: http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory.php
It's very confusional... where are the crochet patterns for dolls and bjd?
Thanks for clarify !

 

In the directory, there is a section called "Dolls and Doll Clothing." Clicking on that will give you several subcategories. You will have to browse the patterns within each category to find patterns that might be appropriate for your doll. There are no BJD-specific patterns that I noticed, so you will probably have to adjust the patterns accordingly.

You will notice that that post is 7 years old. We have developed better resources for BJDs since then. You will find more patterns in the Workshop/Styling and Crafting/Patterns section. I have done a search of that secton for you, using only the word "crochet" in the thread title, you will need to browse among them to find patterns appropriate for your doll:

/search/243912/?q=crochet&o=relevance&c[title_only]=1&c[node]=167

 

Oh.... This was so kind and helpful!
Thank you so so much

 

I can't access the pattern because I haven't been "invited".

 

Are you aware that your blog is set up as "invitation only"? That means only people you have specifically invited will have access.

 

These socks are adorable!! And a good exercise for those of us that are still not so great at knitting socks in human size >.<

 

Sometimes don't look at Ravelry for "BJD" patterns. I've found BJD patterns by simply searching doll. Took some time to find them, but eventually I came across a few good ones.

I've been looking for a decent sock pattern. Thank you!

 

I love the info on these threads. I wish I could crochet. I am so dumb.

 

Some people pick up handicrafts easily, and other people have strengths in other areas, and that has nothing to do with intelligence! If you want to learn to crochet, study up and try, and try again until you get somewhere. Crocheting and knitting aren't skills anyone is born with, so don't sell yourself short by thinking you don't have the "smarts" for it, and please don't sell crocheters short by discounting the time and effort we've put into learning it!

 

No! You can do it I taught myself and in 3 years I became a crochet master. I thought I'd never be able to learn either. Youtube is an awesome resource.

 

I'll never be a crochet-master; I don't have any patience for counting to make fancy stitches. But you'd be surprised what nice throws and things you can make with plain old single- and double-crochet stitches by using multiple colors of yarns, or variegated yarns!

I need to get speakers for the computer that "likes" youtube. I hear there are some good beginner knitting videos there.

 

I don't mind counting and I love learning fancy stitches in repeating patterns! It's the math and calculations that get me! I've gotten stumped on a hat pattern that wants me to evenly increase crochet from 52 stitches to 88... I've tried and tried and tried again, and somehow I've wound up with 78 and 84 but not yet 88!

 

i don't mind figuring out the increases when i write my own pattern but it should be written into patterns unless its really obvious (like increasing from 6 to 12...)

@designedforsmiles according to my calculations you need to increase every 1.4 stitches which isn't very even. probably the closest is alternating 1 then 2 stitches between. but it may still not be quite right. sometimes the easiest way for odd numbers like that is to get a piece of chart paper count off the 52 stitches then mark an x in each increase to get the right number so i'd try the 1 and 2 and if that doesn't give you the right number add or subtract for the extras.

 

Waa this is a great thread thank youuuu

 

We cannot view this unless we are invited to read your blog.

 

Also, here is a cute crochet pattern that is free on Ravelry: Ravelry: BJD Crochet Set pattern by Meredith Abshire

A fair warning though, it can be a pain to find the right supplies. I had to order my hook and crochet thread for it online.

And here is a free set of knitting patterns for a YoSD girl's wardrobe: Ravelry: Wardrobe for 11-12 inch BJD pattern by Anne Campbell

 

Thanks Pinkrose064 -- I had not seen either of those on Rav before...

 

You're welcome! Hope you enjoy!

 

Thank you

 

Thank you,

 

Thank you so much!

 

Hello I'm looking for more knitting patterns for SD size sweaters

 

Thanks everyone, There is great info and some really cool patterns to try out.

 

PixieFaire has some free patterns for various sized dolls.

Both sewing and knitting/crocheting, so I'm posting this in both threads.

Free 18 inch doll clothes patterns and tutorials

 

apparently 18inch doll clothes fit yosd's if you shrink them by 55%. i haven't tried, yet, but have a whole bunch i'm planning to.

 

Do you have any idea how much you'd have to shrink 18" doll clothes patterns so that they would fit Realfee? There are SO many patterns for 18" dolls like American Girl that it would be wonderful to have an easy method to size them down for Realfee as well.

 

Ooo, that's awesome if it works! I'll have to try that now. Thank!

 

not off hand but if you can tell me how much you shrink our littlefee patterns to fit realfees I can figure it out....

eta: a quick calculation in my excel program (i have all my dolls by measurement and as many measurements for other dolls i can find) shows that it should be about 37%? at least for circumference. leg/arms may need to be lengthened and head size would be completely off...

i can't remember where i first found the conversion. but apparently american girl dolls have very similar proportions to littlefee/realfee/pukifee so that makes it easier to convert the patterns that other doll clothes. since there are so many ag doll patterns out there it's nice to know. one caveat i'm sure you will still need to do a test fit since ag dolls are cloth bodied and thus can vary from doll to doll, so exact size would depend on the designers fit model

eta i found the original tutorial. it wasn't who i thought it was so i was looking in the wrong place. it was a wrenfeathers resizing tutorial. to get to littlefee size you shrink by 50% if you first remove and then later add back in the seam allowances. 55% allows you to ignore that step and the shrink patterns with the seam allowances included. so the 37% to get realfee might need the seam allowances adjusted as well as the length?

 

Thanks! How wonderful that you are keeping size stats for a variety of dolls. Too many projects on the go until about September, but I'll have to try the AG to Realfee sometime.

 

if you get to it before i do, let me know if the conversion works. if i have a chance to try it i'll post back here as well. and of course i'd love to see what you make.

i should probably check and see if there is a thread like this for sewing patterns and post there too...

 

Thank you . I want to try the February dolly skirt. Very cool looking
