Winter cape for little dolls

Product description

What do the pretty little dolls with the beautiful princess dresses need when they are invited to a big ball at the castle in winter? That’s right … a winter cape.

This one is knitted and has a nice big hood and a wide white hem all around. It is variable in length and fastens at the neck with a decorative clasp. It falls open at the bottom so that you can still see the beautiful dress underneath. In this outfit, the doll is sure to be the most beautiful at the ball and will enchant the prince :-)

We knit the cape in one piece as a raglan from the top of the neck towards the hem. The increases are even and the length of the cape is variable. Then we knit on a hood. Finally, we sew on a fastener. The new winter cape is finished and the doll is ready for the big ball.

I wish you lots of fun with this project and many beautiful winter capes for your children’s and grandchildren’s dolls.

Skills Required / What You'll Receive

You get 18 pages of written step-by-step instructions with lots of pictures of the individual steps. The instructions are suitable for ambitious knitting beginners as I show and describe all the steps in detail. We pick up stitches, knit and purl stitches.

The finished cape, which is variable in length, fits all small dress-up dolls of this type that are approx. 11.5inches tall.

Elegant und gut zu arbeiten

Das Cape lässt sich prima stricken, obwohl ich wenig Erfahrung mit Zopfmustern habe. Anleitung ist gut verständlich. Sieht super aus. Rücksprache nach Schwierigkeiten funktionierte einwandfrei.

    Hallo, ich habe mal eine Frage.
    Kann es möglich sein, dass sich in der Anleitung ein Fehler befindet?
    Seite 8, Kapuze Reihe 3. Entweder verstehe ich es nicht richtig oder es ist ein Fehler drin.
    Ich hatte in mehreren Anläufen immer zuviele Maschen. Ich habe jetzt 12 Zunahmem gleichmäßig von der Mitte aus auf jeder Seite verteilt. Jetzt geht es auf. Kannst du das mal überprüfen?
    Ansonsten bin ich bisher mit der Anleitung sehr zufrieden. Nur hier habe ich Probleme
    Gruß, Biggi

      Liebe Biggi, Du hattest recht! Es hatte sich ein Fehler eingeschlichen. Den habe ich soeben korrigiert und die Anleitung bei CP aktualisiert. Vielen lieben Dank, dass Du mich darauf hingewiesen hast. Ich wünsche Dir weiterhin viel Freude mit dem Projekt. Liebe Grüße Ina

    wow Ina, Du bist ja der Wahnsinn, Deine Capes sind ja so hübsch. Deine Models in so edlen Kleidern. Diese kleinen Krönchen auf dessen Haupt, wo bekommt man die?
    Ich würde so ein Cape auch gerne in "groß" anziehen wollen bei Dir. Herrlich

      Freute mich, dass Dir die Sachen gefallen. Ich bin immer so ein Perfektionist, bei mir musss immer alles zusammenpassen. Ein schönes Puppenkleid verlangt ein dazu passendes, schönes Cape mit großer Kapuze. Und zu Ballkleid und Cape trägt die Puppe natürlich ein Krönchen, weil sie ja auf den Ball geht. Ich bin im Herzen wohl noch ein kleines Mädchen, dass sich an schönen Puppensachen und an Märchen erfreuen kann. Die "Zutaten" wie z. B. das Krönchen kaufe ich bei e...y. Ab und an nimmt meine Enkelin aber was mit, weil ihr das dann auch gefällt.
