Molly Dress - free knit pattern for blythe

a great, easy little mod dress for your blythe.

SIZE
12" Blythe Doll

MATERIALS
- Lang Jawoll sock yarn [75% superwash wool,18% nylon,7% acrylic 206 yards per 50 gram ball] - I love Jawoll! It is a lighter weight than most sock yarns, which is great for doll clothes. The best thing about it is each skein includes a 5g spool of reinforcement thread ~ perfect to sew on buttons, sequins etc!
- two doll sized buttons
- sequins, beads [optional]
- set of four 2.75 mm [US size #2] needles

  3. Thanks for posting this and making it possible to print. I knitted a hat for a friend's doll and that got me intrigued, okay, so I got obsessed with them. I just got a Blythe of my own. Now to clothe her.
