Anzu's dress
I have finished Anzu's dress today. I think it looks nice and I like this pattern (by Soph) a lot, but I had some trouble with the dress. My first attempt was much too small which was odd since the dress uses the same yarn as the doll. I redid it with a hook one size bigger but even so it was still not closing in back and too short, so instead of working the bottom in rounds I did everything in straight rows and added some plackets in the back for buttoning, and added 4 rows for extra length. I guess I crochet tighter than most people and that the doll must have been stretched when I stuffed it.
One small change I made was adding a row of decorative chain stitch above the hem. SInce I can't sell her I was thinking of looking for a swap but now I think I may keep her for Puni and me. I like these colors. Now if only I can make her nice hair and features.
your stitches are ABSOLUTELY perfect!!

I saw this doll while looking at pictures of dolls on google. I am currently in the process of adopting a little girl from vietnam and I was wondering if you sell your dolls. I fell in love with this one and I am unfortunately sewing/knitting/crocheting challenged...lol
