I have published my first pattern! It is available for free on Ravelry!
Ravelry: Melanie's Doll Cradle Purse pattern by Melanie Patterson (you have to click on my ravelry store)
I am so excited! I hope some of you will make it and let me know how it goes!
Adorable! Thank you for the link and good luck with it.
(Can you make it easier to get to the pattern from the details page? A direct link would help.)
It looks super.
It’s too hard for me and also I have no one to make it for, but i hope others take it up. I couldn’t see the button for free download though.
Wonderful! Thank you! I have crocheted several of these and am excited to get a pattern for knitting! I have a paper box full of supplies (dolls, yarns, etc.). I got my dolls from Herrschnerr’s. I was going to make dolls, but after making the purses, blankets, and doll clothes, I was done! These were 2nd birthday gifts for my granddaughters and some others. My daughter’s friend asked for one and I think it turned out the best!
I don’t know how to do that- but you can get it on the details page from the Melanie’s Ravelry Store button
I promise it is not hard, I do not do things that are hard or fussy- I don’t have time for stuff with a million instructions! I don’t have particular people to make them for either, but I belong to a group that makes knitted/sewed/crocheted things for charity- so some little girl will like it for sure!
I seems I missed a few details… I will try to delete and add again with those important things noted. Thanks for bringing my attention to it! (also, Ravelry is not responding, so it might take a while)
Ravelry is back up. They have a support page and that may be the place to ask about posting links to your pattern.
Thanks for the tips, I was able to get back on and make some edits- apparently there are some secret buttons, like “Activate” Anyway, here is the pattern on Ravelry, and there is now a free button
Congratulations on posting the pattern. Hope there are many clicks.
I made a similar one with the size 6 needles. Turned out sort of large. What is your finished size, and big question: Where did you find that little doll!? Thanks so much
From top to bottom it is about 6 inches and about 8 inches wide. I bought the little doll from the dollar store (Dollarama) and it comes in a little blue bottle I had previously posted a pic of the doll container but I can’t find it now
It’s so cute Thank you for sharing
Melanie, I started your pattern and wondering about point #4 the Decrease rows on the Base. Is it correct to decrease on every row? Or, should it be decrease at the beginning and end of each right side row to follow the patterns increases done on point #2?
When I decrease every row, the base length is 3.5 inches….
Does “top to bottom” mean height of finished cradle. or from head to foot measurement?
the width (19 st) of the base is 3.75” whereas yours is 8”. ?
Because of the wide differences in our knitting, I am puzzled. I’m using dk wt yarn and 4 mm needles
@Melanie_Patterson Can you help out Chava please?
I’m trying to make but having some issues. What is your gauge on this pattern? Thanks.
I’ve messaged Melanie_Paterson and you should hear a reply soon.
