More Berenguer Outfits

I'm still making doll clothes, using a size 6 crochet hook and #3 thread.

Here's a Girl's Colorful Dress from Itsy Bitsy Babies and Their Bassinet Purses, available from Annie's Attic.

This dress was a variation of the Ladybug Dress .

A friend showed me this Karate Kid outfit. It was so cute I had to make my own. No pattern, just pants and a shirt as done in other patterns.

And here is an 8 in. Berenguer wearing an outfit called Becky's Bed Doll designed by Amy Carrico.

5 inch Berenguer Babies

I couldn't resist these dolls after seeing them in catalogs from Annie's Attic and Mary Maxim. After much experimentation, it was apparent that what suited me best was crocheting clothes with number 3 cotton thread. Here are some of the results:

Look Out for Teddy Bears

Interested in crocheting some teddy bears? Here are some patterns I've tried.


Becky's Crocheted Teddy is made in a flat piece, starting with the legs, working up the body to the head, and going back down the other side. Then it is sewn together and stuffed.








These two were made from a pattern called Crochet Teddies and Bunnies and are made in pieces. The legs and arms are attached as the body is made. The muzzle and tail are made separately and sewn on. The ears are crocheted onto the head.





These colorful teddies are Jelly Beanz Bearz by Christal Friend. The green one came first. The muzzle seemed a little short so I added a row on the rest of them. These are crocheted in pieces, but the legs and arms are crocheted on as the body is made.

More Toys

Bev Qualheim had a pattern for this crocheted bunny and links to the bear and a doll on her blog(http://www.bevq.blogspot.com/). The patterns include a vest and pants and shirt for boys. The size when finished is 6 inches from head to toe. Very fun to make and a nice change. My bunny does have a nose and mouth but the yarn is too pale to show.



Here are a couple more bears modeling the other clothing options

Loom Bunny

This little guy was made from a pattern posted by Ann Bipes on her site(http://loomknittingblog.blogspot.com/). The head and legs and body are all from one loomed rectangle. His little face is so small I didn't give him any eyes or nose. He worked up very quickly and could probably be changed into different animals just by modifying the ears and tail.

Another Dog

t Using fun fur makes a difference. This guy has more character. And I attached his legs closer together so he can sit better. Most of the strands from the fun fur seemed to be on the inside (purl side) so I made that the outside of his body. I'm using buttons for the eyes --- not good for young children, I know --- but it's what I have and I like the eyes shiny.

Knit Kitty

The kitty was an earlier project posted in the Loom Class before I joined the group. It was fun doing something so easy, although I didn't read the directions for binding off the head until after I did it so the shape is off a little. Someone posted a picture of a puppy done with this pattern using fun fur that was very cute. I do like seeing what other people have tried and getting ideas from their pictures.

Tubby Puppy

Tubby is based on Scruffy (made by Kathy Norris and posted on her blog http://knittingmuse.blogspot.com/). She posted directions in one of the loom groups. Her Scruffy turned out much cuter because she used fun fur. Since I didn't have any, I used a veriegated Homespun combined with Red Heart for the body and just the Red Heart for the rest of him.


My poor little guy is so stocky he can barely stand or even sit. I've crocheted many toys but this is my first loomed one.
