Hey everyone!
I'm Lizfaerie and today I'm going to show you how to make some basic clothes for your
crochet dolls.
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to make a jacket, or vest.
This pattern is really easy to customize to any size doll.
But I'll be making mine to fit these 2 different dolls, my realistic body doll, and my basic
doll.
If you want to make your jacket with a hood or collar, make sure you check out my other
tutorial to see how to make a hood first.
Some other things you'll need for this tutorial are:
A crochet hook.
You can use any size you like, I'm going to use a size E (3.5 mm)
A pair of scissors A yarn needle to sew in your ends
You'll need bobby pins or stitch markers to keep track of your stitches
And you'll need yarn.
You could really use any yarn to dress your doll, but I find a thinner yarn works better
to make a light sweater, and thicker yarn works better for making a thicker coat.
So I'll be using crochet thread to make a sweater.
And worsted weight yarn to make a coat.
. I'm using this Rose pink from Caron Simply Soft, but you can use any color you like.
If you're making yours with crochet thread, you might want to add more rows to make up
for the size of the thread, or you could use a different hook size, like a size G (4 mm).
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to make your jacket using worsted weight yarn
If you want, you could use a zipper or buttons to sew onto your jacket when it's done.
If you're doing that, you'll also need a needle and thread.
I'll be using this pink zipper that I shortened to the right size.
to fasten the front of the jacket closed.
You could use buttons, or velcro or hooks or snaps, or you could just sew the front
closed, or leave the front open.
I'll put a link to where I got this zipper in the description below.
If you're using a zipper, make sure to use a zipper with an open bottom, so that you
can open the jacket.
If you'd like a written pattern, you can find one in my Ravelry store.
That link is also in the description below.
I'm going to start by creating a chain that's the same width of the neck opening I want
to make for the vest.
So I'm going to chain 12, to create a high neckline for this vest.
The length of your chain may vary if you have different tension, a different hook or yarn,
or if you want a lower neckline.
So just make sure to measure your chain against the body of your doll.
If you're making a hooded vest or a vest with a collar, just continue where you left off
on the hood or collar at the next row, and skip making the foundation chain.
So I chained 12 for this doll, since I'll be making it with a high neckline.
If you want to make a lower neckline, like I did in my basic doll shirt tutorial, you
should chain a larger number.
If you want to see how to do that in more detail, see my doll shirt video.
To start my next row, I'm going to chain 1.
And that's going to count as the first stitch of the row, so I'll mark that stitch with
my bobby pin.
Then I'm going to single crochet into the 3rd chain from my hook to begin the row.
I'm going to do this to begin every row, so that the front of the vest stays open.
Now, if you're making yours with a hood or collar, this is where you should skip to.
Next I need to widen for the shoulders.
If you want to make your doll's vest with really thin straps, you should skip this step,
so that you don't add any more rows to the straps.
But to widen the straps, first I'm going to divide the number of chains in the foundation
chain, not counting the chain I made to count as the 1st stitch of the row, by 6, to find
the number I need to increase by.
If you're making a jacket with a hood, or with a collar, instead of counting the number
of stitches in the foundation chain, you should count the number of stitches in the last row
you made, and divide that by 6 instead to find the number to increase by.
But it should be the same number, if you've been following along.
So I'm going to go on increasing until I reach the width I want for the doll's shoulder straps.
For my doll, since I had 12 chains, I increased every 2nd stitch of the row for my first row
of increase.
To continue increasing 6 times per row, just keep increasing by the next number.
If in the first row, you increased every 3rd stitch, then in the next row, you would increase
every 4th stitch; and in the next row, increase every 5th stitch; then in the next row, every
6th stitch, and so on.
I added 2 more rows of increase, every 3rd stitch of the row, and every 4th stitch of
the row.
Alright, I've finished increasing for the shoulders.
In the next row, I'm going to create the armholes.
If your doll's chest is particularly big, you can continue to increase in this row to
make the jacket even wider.
To do that, mark three stitches at each end of the work, and increase into each of those
stitches.
But I'm not going to do that for this doll, since the chest is already wide enough.
So chain 1 for the first stitch.
Single crochet into the third chain from the hook.
Then single crochet into the next 4 stitches, until you get to where the first arm hole
should go.
Alright, I've finished the first 6 stitches of the row.
I'm going to place the armhole here.
Once again, where you're placing the arm may vary.
So just measure against your doll.
Now, to make the arm hole, I'm going to chain 4, and skip 6 stitches.
And single crochet into the next stitch.
If you made a bigger doll and want bigger arm holes, skip and chain more than 6 and
4, but make sure to keep the same ratio by chaining 2 less than your skipped stitches.
For example, if you: chain 10, skip 12; chain 8, skip 10; chain 6, skip 8; et cetera.
Also, bear in mind that these skipped stitches, the chains, and the sides of each of these
2 single crochets on each side of the armhole, will count as a stitch when making the sleeves
in the next part of the video.
If you like, you can mark those stitches so you can keep track of where they are.
Now I'm going to single crochet across the back, until I get to where I want the next
arm hole to go.
I've already done one single crochet, after skipping those stitches for the armhole.
Now I'm going to single crochet in the next 5 stitches, across the back, until I get to
where the next armhole should go.
Next I'm going to repeat the same thing I did to create the first armhole to make another
one on the other side.
So chain 4 and skip 6 stitches.
And single crochet in the next stitch.
Then I'm going to do the same thing on this side, as I did on the other side.
So I'm going to single crochet into the last 5 stitches of the row.
But if you increased 3 on the other side to make the chest bigger, you should increase
3 this side, too.
If you made a bigger doll, or a doll with a bigger chest, you can continue to increase
this way for as many rows as you like.
But for my doll, I'm not going to increase for any more rows.
If you want you could also mark the chains at the other arm hole.
Next I'm going to continue with the armholes.
As you can see, the armhole has added these curves to the sides of the vest.
In the next 2 rows, to make the sides more straight, I'm going to do some increases and
decreases in that area to even out the row.
If you want to learn some different ways to decrease, or if you just want more practice
with decreasing and increasing, check out my increasing and decreasing tutorial by clicking
the link on the screen.
So I'm going to single crochet until I reach the chains I made for the first armhole.
Alright, now I'm going to skip this first chain.
And increase the next chain.
So single crochet twice into that stitch.
Then increase again into the next chain.
And skip the last chain.
And I'm going to repeat that on the other side when I get to the other arm hole.
So I'm going to single crochet until I get to the chains on the other side, where I'm
going to skip the first chain.
Increase the 2nd and 3rd chain.
And skip the 4th chain.
Then single crochet until the end of the row.
Next I'm going to finish the curves at the armholes.
So I'm going to single crochet until I reach the stitch before the increases I made in
the previous row.
And I'm going to decrease that stitch and the next stitch together.
So pull up a loop through the front loops of the next 2 stitches.
And single crochet to decrease.
Next I'm going to increase the next 2 stitches.
Then decrease the next 2 stitches together.
And I'm going to repeat that on the other side when I get there.
So I'm going to single crochet until I reach the stitch before the increases I made for
the other armhole in the previous row.
Then I'm going to decrease that stitch and the next stitch.
And increase into the next 2 stitches.
And decrease into the next 2 stitches.
Then single crochet until the end of the row.
Alright, I've completed the armholes.
Next I'll add a few rows of single crochet to lengthen the vest.
I'm just going to continue working single crochets for 6 more rows, for the realistic
doll, since it has a longer torso.
For the basic doll, though, I'll just do 4 more rows.
I've gotten to the end of 6 rows.
Now I'm going to do a row of slip stitches all the way around the work.
You don't have to do this if you want.
You could just chain 1 to finish the row and cut off the yarn.
I just like to slip stitch around to give the jacket a neater finish.
Here's what it looks like without the finished edge.
And here's what it looks like with a finished edge.
How you do this is also going to depend on whether you made the jacket with a hood, or
with a collar, or with neither.
First I'll show you how to do the basic jacket.
I'm going to chain 1, and that's going to count as the first slip stitch of the row.
Then I'm going to make a corner at the bottom of the jacket, by slip stitching into the
side of the same stitch I chained up from.
And then, along the first side of the front, I'm going to slip stitch into the sides of
the rows, until I get to the top.
How many slip stitches you do depends on how many rows you made to complete the vest, minus
1.
That's because I already worked the corner into the first stitch on this side, the stitch
I chained up from.
So for my doll, I'm going to slip stitch 11.
Now I'm at the top of the first side.
So I'm going to chain 1 to make another corner here.
Then, turn the work slightly.
And slip stitch again into the same stitch.
Next I'm going to slip stitch along the top, where I first made my foundation chain.
How many slip stitches you do here depends on how many chains were in the foundation
chain, minus 1.
Just like on the side we already did, that's because I already worked the corner into the
first chain of the foundation.
So I'll slip stitch 11.
When I get to the other end of my foundation chain, I'm going to make another corner on
this side.
So chain 1.
And slip stitch again into the same stitch.
Now I'm going to turn the work again, and I'm going to work another row of slip stitches
along the other side of the front, into the sides of the rows on this side.
The amount of slip stitches on this side should be the same as the amount on the other side.
And at the end of this section, I'm going to make another corner, by chaining 1, and
slip stitching again into the same stitch.
And now I'm going to work a row of slip stitches along the bottom of the vest.
How many slip stitches you create here depends on how many stitches were in the last row
of the vest, minus one.
Again, that's because the corner is already worked into the first stitch of the row.
Now I've gotten back to the corner where I started.
So I'm going to slip stitch to the first stitch of the row.
Cut off the yarn, and sew in my ends.
If you made a collared or hooded vest, you should start the row of finishing slip stitches
in the same way, by slip stitching into the sides of the rows at the front of the vest.
If you made your vest with a collar, do everything the same way, except also slip stitch into
the sides of each row of the collar at both sides.
How many slip stitches you do here depends on how many rows of collar you made.
If you made a vest with a hood, start your slip stitch row in the same way.
When you get to the top of the front of the vest, continue to slip stitch into the sides
of the rows until you get to the top of the hood.
How many slip stitches you do here depends on how many rows you did to complete the hood,
plus one for the foundation chain.
Then slip stitch down the sides of the rows on the other side, until you get to the bottom
of the hood.
The amount of slip stitches on this side of the hood should be the same amount as on the
other side.
And now the vest is done.
Next I'm just going to line up my zipper with the front of the coat using some pins, and
I'm going to use my needle and thread to sew the zipper down.
If you want to see how I did this in more detail, check out my zipper shortening and
sewing tutorial.
And now my dolls' vests are done.
