“A Simple Dress” For A 5-3/4 Inch Female Doll, 1:12 Scale
My miniature doll patterns are inspired by and have been written originally for representing an aspect of my own life. I am creating a “Heritage House” which is a 1:12 scale doll house that depicts my life, my son’s childhood, and which will become a family heirloom for my son and his family to one day inherit.
My patterns do reflect our lives, in that they are very simple items of clothing. We live simply, without a lot of frills. I feel my patterns are easy enough for the beginning miniature knitter, although they are also of course appropriate for those with more experience with knitting in miniature. Basic knitting knowledge is expected, and awareness of the truly tiny size of these stitches is a must.
This pattern is called “A Simple Dress”. This dress is easy to knit on four size 0 double-point needles, and will allow you to make dresses for all your pose-able dolls, in two different lengths.
Knit with DMC Embroidery Floss (six strands) on size 0000 (1.50 mm) (UK size 16) needles. The dolls shown modeling the dresses are a Heidi Ott adult female doll, a Town Square Miniatures Grandmother doll, and an adult female doll by Modern Miniatures. All three dolls are wearing a dress knit the same way, with the exception of the extra length on the Grandmother doll’s dress
