a great, easy little mod dress for your blythe.SIZE
12" Blythe Doll
MATERIALS
- Lang Jawoll sock yarn [75% superwash wool,18% nylon,7% acrylic 206 yards per 50 gram ball] - I love Jawoll! It is a lighter weight than most sock yarns, which is great for doll clothes. The best thing about it is each skein includes a 5g spool of reinforcement thread ~ perfect to sew on buttons, sequins etc!
- two doll sized buttons
- sequins, beads [optional]
- set of four 2.75 mm [US size #2] needles

AWESOME... THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!!!!!
Just found this pattern through Ravelry. How lovely! Thanks so much. I'll be making this one real soon.
Thanks for posting this and making it possible to print. I knitted a hat for a friend's doll and that got me intrigued, okay, so I got obsessed with them. I just got a Blythe of my own. Now to clothe her.
cute dress, but I can't do knitting well.
Wonderful pattern - thanks for sharing! You can see my version on Ravelry at http://www.ravelry.com/projects/ashpags/molly-dress-blythe-size

Hi Mary!

Fantastic, very cute and sweet images of Blythe. I love your blog post and just ordered this awesome Blythe Doll at PIJ. I hope I will get this in a week. :D

If knitted in a slightly larger gauge this can fit other vintage small dolls; my old Penny Brite wears one, and both of my old Ginny dolls can squeeze into it too. This is a fabulous little pattern. I can't wait to make a new one for my new Blythe doll when she comes.
