Hooded Pocket Shawl

Hello, doll friends!

Mama wanted us to have a Hooded Pocket Shawl, but was unable to find a pattern online that was suitable, so, as she so often does, she made her own.

Take a look!

* You can find the link to the pattern and pdf file at the end of this entry *



Here is Luciana modeling it, with the hood up and her hands in the pockets



Mama chose a bright sunny yellow for the shawl



Here is a view of what it looks like from the back



A picture with the hood down



Here you can see it from the back with the hood down



And another one from the side; this time with Luciana's hands out of her pockets

I plan to keep my patterns free for everyone to use, but please make sure to link back to this page for credit. Thank you! 😊

Blacklight Beanie

Hello, everyone!

To go along with the Blacklight Coat Mama made for us, and which you can find hereshe also made us a beanie.

Check it out!

* You can find the link to the pattern and pdf file at the end of this entry *



Here is a closeup of the beanie



And here we have the beanie worn together with the coat. As I said in the entry for the coat, these pictures do not do the vibrancy of the neon colors enough justice!

Blacklight Coat

Hello again, doll friends!

This time I would like to show you another coat Mama made for us. She calls it the Blacklight Coat because of the name of the yarn she used for it. She used her own pattern for this coat.

There is also a pattern for a matching beanie Mama made to go along with the coat.

But first, let's take a look!

* You can find the link to the pattern and pdf file at the end of this entry *



Here it is, modeled by Luciana. It has lots of repeating neon colors, which are a lot brighter in reality. The picture truly does not do the vibrancy of the colors enough justice!
