Free Unicorn Dolls Dressing Gown Crochet Pattern

Dolls dressing gown description

Thanks for checking out my unicorn dolls dressing gown crochet pattern. As you may know I’ve been designing clothes for 18″ dolls over the last few weeks.

It’s so addictive and the look on the children’s faces seeing them is truly priceless! This week I’ve designed a unicorn themed dressing gown and I’m so pleased with how it’s turned out.

The unicorn dressing gown is designed to fit 18″ child style dolls. The dressing gown is made using two yarns held together making it thick and cozy.

Don’t be put off if you haven’t used two yarns together before. It’s just as easy as crocheting with a single yarn and there’s something quite satisfying about watching the colors merge together.

The hooded dressing gown ties at the waist and is big enough to fit over your dolls pyjamas. The dressing gown has a pretty unicorn theme, Its hood is topped with unicorn ears, cone and crochet roses.

How to crochet a dolls dressing gown

The unicorn dolls dressing gown is easy skill level. You’ll need to know basic crochet stitches, simple increases and decreases as well as be able to work into the back loops and magic ring.

The pattern involves some basic sewing, to be more specific you’ll need to sew on the ears, cone, roses and belt. It works up super quick and uses DK (weight 3) yarn. The dressing gown is made using two strands of yarn held together and a 6.5mm hook.

The roses and cone uses a 4mm crochet hook. You will need a very small amount of toy stuffing to fill the unicorn cone. Gauge is very important for this pattern as you want your doll clothes to fit. The dolls dressing gown uses approximately 160g (449m/492yd) of yarn.
