Yarn: The pattern calls for 1/2 oz. of mohair of unspecified weight for the main color and a “small amount” of a contrast color.

Additional materials for the flower embellishments: one yard each of four colors of baby yarn and small beads or sequins

The coat is knit in top-down raglan style. The only seams are the sleeve seams. It closes with one button at the neck.

The hat is crocheted in one piece in the round.

The pattern includes instructions for making a yarn button and flower appliqués.

Sized for a Barbie-type doll with the 1960s figure: 5.5”/3.125”/5”. The fit may vary on modern dolls.
