Miss Bear as Pumpkin Fairy Free Crochet Pattern

 This week my Miss Bear doll is the free crochet pattern I'm posting. She has a series of outfits that will be posted in the following weeks. You can find the pattern for her, here.
 Miss Bear's body is crochet using size 10 crochet thread to make it easier to dress the doll. Her 'paws" are made of yarn and removable to also make it easier to dress the doll. Her head is made of yarn. She will stand on her own if the base is made correctly.
 Her first outfit is for the Pumpkin Fairy. You can find the pattern here. The dress is made using size 10 crochet threads and is form fitting.
 You will also need black fabric paint in order to decorate her skirt to look like a jack-o-lantern.
 Her bodice features a touch of green much like the leaves on a real pumpkin.
The Pumpkin Fairy's wings are small jack-o-lanterns that feature black fabric painted face.
I hope you like her!

Free Crochet Pattern Child Size Romper, Hat and Purse Set

 This week's free pattern is for a Romper, Hat and Purse Set in child sizes 12 month, 18 month and 24 month with hook change.  The pattern is here.


 Purse and hat both feature a lovely ribbon, knotted bow.


 The Romper uses snap tape sewn to romper's crotch for easy diaper access. The snap tape is found at fabric stores and is bought by the yard. It is much stronger than sewn in snaps due to the twill tape they are attached to which allows the romper to stand up to many opening and closings.


 There is a photo tutorial on how to make the knotted bow used in this pattern.


Enjoy!
