Abigail is a “bare” baby, and another in my “prete a porter” ready to wear collection. That means her wooly sweater dress is removable… but don’t worry, she has crocheted on undies! The knit turtleneck sweater dress she wears features a picot trim and a design that looks like fair isle, but is achieved using a duplicate stitch technique. Best of all, Abigail can wear any of the other clothes available in the prete a porter collection!

Abigail is a 12 inch crocheted girl. Her knit sweater dress is removable. The shoes and underclothes however are crocheted on.

This pattern has 11 pages full of all the info an experienced crocheter/knitter would need to make this little treasure; including technique descriptions, diagrams, and photos. I would rate this as “intermediate” , and requires only minimal sewing and embroidery skills.

Suggested materials: wool and wool blend yarn (worsted weight, at least 3 colors ~200 yds ea., 2 additional colors ~20 yds each), polyester filling, 12 mm glass or plastic safety eyes, cotton fabric(optional), felt, and ribbon(optional).
