The anticipation of vacation shows up in different ways among family members. I often see children reenacting scenes at the beach with their little dolls. The dolls go swimming, sunbathe, stroll through town, go to a festival. And for all of that, they need pretty things.

In my Shop you’ll find knitted and crocheted models for every occasion. Here I’ve picked out 3 matching patterns for you that radiate summer feeling. I hope you enjoy making them.

Warm regards from Ina

Beachwear
This set includes 6 crocheted pieces: a complete bikini, mini skirt, bag, blanket, and sun cap. All the pieces can be wonderfully combined with each other. Here you have everything together for a wonderful day at the beach.





Favorite Summer Dress

The dress is quickly crocheted from 2 colors of yarn. A crochet chart is included. It fastens at the back with 3 snap fasteners. You could definitely be seen on any beach promenade in this, couldn’t you?





Airy Summer Dress with Hat

When it’s time to go to a festival in the evening, the doll likes to put on her chic new summer dress. The lovely hat goes perfectly with it.

Vacation—that means traveling, preferably far away...



"Chugga chugga choo choo, who wants to ride along on vacation?..." All little dolls about 10 cm tall can ride along in this crocheted train. It’ll be so much fun!
The individual parts of the train are made from geometric shapes that are all very easy to crochet. Felt sheets and foam rubber blocks provide extra stability. The wagons are coupled together with hook-and-loop fasteners.


Or are you going farther away? Then of course you’ll take the airplane! This one is quickly crocheted from a few bits of leftover yarn and can be used as a bag charm or keychain. If you crochet several of them at once, they become a colorful mobile for the children’s room: a wonderful gift for all fans of aviation!




Oh yes: aviation! This is a nostalgic way to rise into the air very slowly. The little mouse in the balloon certainly has all the time in the world to look at the earth from above, and she is visibly enjoying the fact that the cat can’t follow her.
The balloon also works very well as a decoration for the children’s room. That’s why the mouse can also be taken out for playing.
