| Newborn size |
When I was searching for a new pattern for an infant dress, I came across a pattern for a
Ripple Gown. I had some fingering yarn left over from another project, and used an E crochet hook. The pattern was easy to follow, and worked up fast. However, it seemed really small, so I put it on my 12" Kewpie doll to check. As you can see at the left, it would have to be for a preemie, and not even a gown. I wanted to try again with a larger hook, so I frogged it and used two strands of the same yarn for the top portion, and then used a shimmery pink fingering yarn combined with the variegated yarn for the skirt. The result is on the right.. I like the size, but it is more a dress than a gown. I think someone will be able to use it, anyway.

A blog friend recently commented that there are more free crochet patterns for girls than for boys. I noticed this as well, apparently around the same time, and went looking. I found this pattern for
Preemie Overalls at Danette's Angels. I made these with larger hooks, a G and an H, and left off the bow tie. These should fit a newborn, and will be donated to my local charity.
