The hat Clair is wearing is made with a green/gold/tan sock yarn that self-stripes. My pattern is shaped for a nice rolled brim for wearing as a Beret, but in this photo she wears it pulled to the back to cover her hair. The first few hats I made with this new pattern didn't have the topknot... but I added one to a hat for a test and like it so much that it is now standard! Easily done over 6 stitches on dp needles.


You know you are hooked on Blythe when you begin buying accessories and toys for your doll..... I found this adorable little Felted Teddy Bear in a Frog suit on ETSY.... see other treats in her shop: http://www.madebylaura.etsy.com/


The colors inspired the use of the green dotted fabric for the new dress. I was going for a Lolita style... with lace, ruffles and satin lacing in the front and back. Shown here with the green thigh high stockings I make with stretchy lace at the tops.
