Crochet American Doll Cloths Patterns

Many doll collectors like to crochet American doll cloths patterns to fit their favorite dolls.  There are many patterns you can follow, but among the most popular are jumpers.  Here are some basic steps to crochet American doll cloths patterns for beautiful results.

To crochet American doll cloths patterns in the shape of a jumper that is easy and pretty, start with the skirt.  As you crochet, be sure to gradually widen the skirt as you work to the bottom.  Depending on the height of the doll it will go on, you will want to use about 10 rows (12” dolls) to 20 rows (24” dolls).

The next step as you crochet American doll cloths patterns in the shape of a jumper is to create the front bib section.  You will want this to be about ¾ of the width at the top of the skirt.  Use the same stitch patterns as the skirt.  It will vary in height, depending on the height of the doll’s torso.

As you continue to crochet American doll cloths patterns for this jumper, make two straps that will go over the shoulders to connect at the rear bib with buttons.  You should make the straps about ¼ of the width of the skirt’s top, and the crochet pattern can be the same or any variation you prefer to offset the look of the straps.

The final step as you crochet American doll cloths patterns in this style is to create the bib in the back, to which the straps will be buttoned.  Use the same crochet pattern as the front bib and skirt, and make it about ½ the width of the front bib.  Sew in two buttons to which you’ll connect the straps at the top.
