I’m confused on this pattern. I’ve just finished working the button holes and I’m trying to go to round 4. What I can’t figure out is how to get 54 sc when I only 44 and and 3 on the end of the rounds. Obviously I’m not understanding this correctly. If anyone could contact me and help out I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!!!!

Jodi: you will need to increase evenly until you have 54 sc, this will create the waistline.

i love the pioneer winter outfit but i am confused on round 3 of the granny square.it states to repeat from asterisks twice and only one asterisks appears and the other question i have is the granny square square? thanks for your help martha berry

*3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in next ch 2 sp*, Thanks for the heads up on this…….The granny squares are square-ish…….the corners are “soft”, but when you sew them, there is an even number of stitches to each side………

I am having a problem with skirt. I have finished the base stitches and have completed rnd 5, however is the skirt sew up the back because it says to turn which makes the skirt not joined. No where in the directions can I find the rnds are joined.
March 24, 2013 at 6:23 pm
Hi Theresa:
The skirt is not sewn…….rnd. 5 is not joined….ch3 and turn, but it will be joined in rnd. 6-join in this rnd. LOL…..I did it this way because the doll is a smidge hippy and this makes it easier for little hands to get it on and off.

I love this pattern but am having trouble with the neckline on the poncho. I think I have the wrong squares sewed up.
April 23, 2015 at 11:15 am
I did get the pattern figured out. Thank you so much.
April 24, 2015 at 7:04 am
fantastic…..sorry I didn’t get bak to you sooner……

On the shoes,chain 15 says slipstitch in same stitch ,how are shoes going to stay on?
December 14, 2015 at 9:24 am
It forms a “circle, so that the loop becomes the shoe strap……the foot of the doll goes thru the loop and then into the shoe……
December 14, 2015 at 10:13 am
