Hello, I hope you're having a good week. It's been very spring-like here, with blue skies, sunshine and a warm and fragrant breeze to ruffle the new leaves on the trees. So far however I've been inside and having a productive week, as I've just put the finishing touches to some new clothing patterns for both the 9 inch and 7 inch animals. These are for skirts, trousers and shorts (baggier in style than the shorts included with the boy animal patterns) and I've been playing around with these for quite a while, as I've been asked about skirts and trousers many times over the years.
Both pattern sizes contain seven options for skirts, along with the shorts, trousers and panties and also contain instructions on adding a pretty knitted edging, which looks like a crochet edge, to dresses and the free camisole pattern. The panties and camisole together work as either underwear or nightwear.
Here are the 7 inch pattern pictures:
And here are the 9 inch pictures:
Both the 9 inch and 7 inch patterns are now up and live on Ravelry and Etsy (Ravelry has a much better download system and adds less seller fees, just saying). Please make sure you choose the right size for the animals you are clothing, the 7 inch version has pink and yellow skirts on the cover and the 9 inch version has blue and green skirts.
As always I hope they're fun to knit and that anyone who gives them a go enjoys working from the patterns.
Now that they're done I'm heading out to the orchard with my camera to see the apple blossom before it fades, see you soon, J x
