Cute, Dot! Great job! :clap

Nice! :)) Are you going to be posting the pattern on your blog or is this pattern a Crochetville exclusive? :wink

(No pressure one way or the other, of course.) :D!

Hey Rachel, as of right now, this pattern is a Crochetville exclusive. :D I was waiting for PhotoBucket to settle back down and then I'll post it on my pink blog (Crochet bythehook). I'll probably end up posting it on my green blog (Patterns by Dot) too, but it's going to look very strange with all those hats. :eek

[bythehook]

Thank you, Donna. :)

Hi Ms. Dot,
I have been learning to crochet from your site. I have been at it about 5 months now. I haven't tackled anything big yet, but this is something I may try. Wish me luck:)

I love this pattern, is there a way I could convert this to fit a 15 month old? I'd love to make this for my daughter!

Thanks!

Those are just the cutest!!! What size are they? Thanks for the pattern.

[bythehook]

The waist is actually pretty large (that's why the drawstring) so if it fits around the waist of your child, just make the body as long as you want it before you start the legs and then if you need to add length to the legs, just keep adding rows. This is a very simple double crochet pattern. Happy hookin' :hook I love this pattern, is there a way I could convert this to fit a 15 month old? I'd love to make this for my daughter!

Thanks!

[bythehook]

Thank you, these fit a 3 months old, but can be made larger just by adding more rounds to the body before starting the legs and adding more rounds to the legs to length. :hook Those are just the cutest!!! What size are they? Thanks for the pattern.
