Simplicity and McCall's used to carry patterns for cloth dolls, as well as separate clothing pieces. Best bet is to check their 'big' catalogs. Wal-Mart and JoAnn's have the catalogs. Both pattern companies have websites, but doubt that they'd show everything they carry on-line. Good luck.

Has anyone have any crochet or knit patterns for an approx 3 inch doll? Perhaps we can trade for some pattern? I have some from Annie's Calander Series. Please email me at Mel_bc@hotmail.com Thank you very much.......mel

Does anyone have any patterns by Doris Thurlow for dolls? Prefer for a 6 inch doll, either crochet or knit. please email mel_bc@hotmail.com I have some Annies calendar doll patterns for Barbie and a few other patterns and would be happy to exchange. Thank you very much....mel

Mango, so you don't want to sit by your pool, sipping a margarita while knitting an afghan? :-) I'll include a link to an afghan pattern book. This book has 67 different patterns, all made with yarn from the Plymouth Yarn Company. Naturally, other yarns could be substituted... Just click on any individual photo and you'll get a popup of a larger photo, and it will also show what yarn was used, how many balls/skeins you will need, and what size needles are used. In this book there are some patterns for afghans that are made in strips, others made in squares, and most are made "in one piece." As others have said, it would be great to knit something to give to a shelter or hospital. When I first found this book on that very web page, I wanted to buy it but it was out of stock. So, I checked Amazon and got a brand new book for a lot less than what's shown on that web site. You can find this on eBay, too. There are plenty of web sites where you can download free patterns, such as Knit Picks and lots of other yarn company web sites. Even though you say there are other family members who knit baby things, every hospital and shelter could use little baby booties, caps, etc. And everyone needs at least one cozy knitted scarf, for when they travel to a colder clime.
