Clara Les Cheries

On Ravelry a group of us had fun making our own versions of a doll dress for a Gotz doll which is on a Pinterest board. (There is no pattern available.).

Start knitting skirt in the round.

Knit together the first 5 and last 5 sts overlapping the buttonhole border. Continue working as for round 1. (It would be helpful to place a marker at beginning of round)

1: *K1, yo, k1, p1, repeat from * to end of round

2: *K3, p1. Repeat from * to end of round.

3: *K2, yo, k1, p1, repeat from * to end of round

4: *K4, p1. Repeat from * to end of round.

5: *K3, yo, k1, p1, repeat from * to end of round

6: *K5, p1. Repeat from * to end of round.

Continue working as before to the desired length. I did 34 rounds.

On the pink version I added a knit round and a purl round before binding off. That does help with the drape of the dress.

This does need blocking to drape well.

I also made this version for my Gotz Hannah doll.

And one failed attempt turned into a cute top for my Disney animator! (One good thing about having different sorts of dolls is that I am sure to find one it does fit even when it doesn't fit who it was supposed to! Lol!) 

It isn't always easy to get the correct size and often I have to go back to the drawing board and try again! That is a part of doll kntting designing.

I hope you enjoyed this.

ETA: I have corrected a couple of typos on the skirt instructions.
