Winx Club free crochet shirt pattern, easily adaptable for any fashion doll

Materials: Bernat Softee Baby Yarn and a size I hook

 

Starting at the bottom of the shirt:

 

-Chain 21, DC in 3rd from hook
-DC across (19 sts) for a total of 3 rows (remember to ch 2 and turn at the end of each row)
-DC across next row, while decreasing a stitch 3 times, ch 2, turn
-1 row of DC, ch 2, turn
-DC across next row, while decreasing a stitch 3 times
-Slip stitch down the back to close the shirt
-Finish off

*I created this shirt to be a bit bigger than usual, to allow for the doll to also wear crocheted bottoms. The dolls arms simply go through the spaces between the DC stitches. If you push the arms through the first top row of DC stitches, the shirt appears more as a tank top, and if you use the second row of DC stitches, the shirt appears more as a t-shirt, which is pictured above. I slipped her arms through two different rows by accident and discovered this awesomeness! I also added the scrap tail of yarn I cut off around her waist for an added something special.

**This pattern also fits Barbie dolls, though is a bit tighter, revealing more skin from beneath as the stitches are spaced out DC stitches. It will definitely fit Barbie dolls great, but if you prefer the bulkier look as in the picture above, I would maybe add 5 stitch in your beginning chain, and work the pattern as normal, knowing you will be starting out with rows of 24 over 19. I am pretty sure they would fit Ever After High pretty well, I think their body sizes are more comparable to Winx Club. Might be a tad big on Monster High dolls...but again, I'm sure it could work, you could leave off a couple stitches in the initial chain for Monster High if you think it needs to be smaller. A very simple, easily adaptable pattern for any fashion doll!

***This pattern could also be made much longer to create a dress of various lengths.

Jakk's Pacific Maleficent Coronation Doll Review, plus How to Remove Her Wings

I'm sure everyone knows what this doll looks like, she makes quite an appearance in the stores! I decided to do a quick review of her, mostly because I had searched everyone online for a how to remove her wings, so that I could hopefully do so, without ruining the doll. All everyone says is that the wings are not removable. Well, those in the doll world know that is not true. It may not have been the manufacturers intention to have the wings be removable, but since the doll and her wings are not molded in one piece, it is possible.

 First onto the doll:

Merry Christmas from Maleficent! A free crochet dress pattern

I was lucky enough today to have a little girl of mine desiring so badly to give me her gift, that she wore Dad down, and I was able to open it! I am absolutely in love with this Maleficent doll, which I have been wanting for some time. I decided today that she needed a Christmas dress...
This dress does fit Barbie dolls, however, I would probably make the smallest waist area maybe 2 or 3 extra stitches, it was a little snug there to get on (though was still possible). The open back for Maleficent's wings is also fine on a Barbie, it does not look odd, simply looks like an open back dress, and does stay on just fine!

I hide in the darkness

I hide in the darkness,
his power hunting me
like a whisper in the night.
His white fangs pierce my skin,
draining my soul;
my red blood staining his
savage teeth.

his vampire blood

His vampire blood
courses through me.
Black fire kisses my soul,
whispering lies of death
as the raven calls
to the creature within.

winter wonderland

I step out into the cold,
my naked feet deep in snow.
I wiggle my toes,
raise my head,
and inhale the winter winds.
I know it is cold,
though I don't feel it.
I don't feel the numbness
on my toes or on my face.
I don't feel the chill
on my skin.
I feel nothing but
the peace of such beauty.
I see a growing light up high,
almost blinding.
A light that wants to consume me,
so I walk towards it.
