A Cold Day Outfit Pattern

This little outfit is perfect for cold weather and includes a hand-stitched wool-felt duffel coat, a hand-knit stripey wool sweater, a pair of machine- stitched jeans, a pair of hand-stitched wool felt boots, and a hand-knit wool cable scarf. It will fit all animals in the Little Animal Family.

Separate, individually downloadable PDF patterns are also available for lots of other clothes and accessories so you can add to your doll wardrobe.
