Brenda Vest 
Are you also eagerly waiting for summer? Then crochet yourself a beautiful summer vest. The anticipation is guaranteed to grow!
This vest has an unusual construction. If you’d like to work with gradient yarn, you’ll need 2 identical bobbles. The seam is not visible; I designed it to match the pattern. You’ll find all further information here:

I hope you have lots of fun making it 💝

How about giving the doll child (35 - 46 cm tall) a sweet strappy dress - with a matching hairband? You can easily knit it from leftover yarn. You’ll be amazed at how easy the skirt’s stitch pattern is to knit and yes, it’s even addictive. Of course, you can knit several colorful little dresses right away, and the doll’s mom is sure to be delighted. There is always plenty of leftover yarn.

The pattern includes several sizes.

This colorful clothing set for dolls 40-50 cm can also be knitted very well from leftover yarn. It looks charming and is really fun to knit. The set consists of a colorful striped skirt with a matching sweater and hairband. I knitted it from the leftover yarn from the doll mom’s skirt.

Our dolls love summer too. Here, too, fashion becomes airier, lighter, and more colorful. Feel free to take a look at my crocheted ideas for it. Here are a few examples.

I hope you have lots of fun making them.

Warm regards from Ina

Airy Summer Dress with Hat

You can crochet the full, swingy dress in the doll mom’s favorite colors and decorate it however you like. The dress is crocheted in one piece from top to bottom. The summer hat goes wonderfully with it. You can also mix and newly combine the different dresses and hats. This summer set is really a lot of fun—to crochet and to play with.





Swimsuit

When it’s really hot outside, our dolls will surely go swimming too or lie in the sun. They need something suitable to wear. How about this one-piece? It also only needs a tiny bit of yarn.





Favorite Little Summer Dress

I really like this dress because it’s quick to crochet and always fits well. A few bits of leftover yarn are enough. It closes in the back with snap fasteners.

Even the little dolls are already looking forward to summer and a few relaxing days at the beach! Of course, they’ll need the right gear for that too:



This beach set includes everything you need for an afternoon at the beach: swimsuit, towel, sun hat, beach bag, air mattress, and a beach umbrella. Once everything is packed, you’re ready to go!



When it’s windy, a hooded beach chair like this is especially cozy. You can crochet it for different doll sizes, even very small, e.g. as a decoration for a door wreath. A cardboard box is cut to size and glued together, then crocheted around. The size of the box determines the size of the hooded beach chair.



And after a dip in the cool water, it’s so nice on windy days to be able to snuggle up in a cozy bathrobe . It can be made with different yarns and also fits male fashion dolls. The pattern also describes how to make the matching slippers.

You’ll find even more summery ideas in my collection for little fashion dolls!

Below, I’ll show you three stylish shirts from my shop that will really get you in the mood for spring and summer:

1) Shirt "Caro-Line" - super simple in cut and pattern, making it a great project for beginners too.

2)  Tunic "Arielle" - a simple pattern combined with a figure-skimming cut are the features of this popular tunic. Even baby bumps fit comfortably underneath.

3) Crop top "Melody" - the cut is simple, the pattern is a bit tricky, but very effective.

The colors of these gift bags immediately bring to mind summer with bright sunshine in a blue sky. And that makes them ideal for small summer gifts.



The bags are made from photo cardstock, measure approximately 9 x 11 x 5 cm, and are very easy to recreate.
