Free Crochet Pattern

My First Crochet Pattern

Last February Emily and Ruth asked me to make more outfits for their 5 inch baby dolls.   Ruth added one caveat to this request she wanted the underpants to fit better.  I had to agree with her so I set about creating my first crochet pattern.

I have long admired my girlfriend Barb, she has been creating original crochet patterns for years so with Barb as a mentor I spent the next 6 months working it out.  Ok really I put off working on the problem until this past weekend.

Back Lace:

Return to the first row of 14 stitches crocheted into the back loop.  Pick up the front loop and chain three then double crochet twice in the same loop, single crochet in the next loop, three double crochet in the loop and repeat this across, cut the thread and repeat this for the second line of available front loops.

Pick up 20 single crochet around each the pant leg and repeat the three double crochet followed by a single stitch. 

I hope that you enjoy this free crochet pattern for 5 inch baby dolls.
