Basic Dress for Baby Bean Doll (Free Crochet Pattern)




You'd probably like to dress the little doll up in some clothes!

Here's a basic dress pattern that you can crochet in a jiffy.  You can use as many or as few colors as you want, and it'll still look adorable all the same!  Add embellishments, lace, buttons, or keep it plain, and little hands (or big ones like mine) will surely have fun fitting this dress on Baby Bean.

My goal is to create a wardrobe so that Baby Bean can be a nice, handmade toy for children to play and be creative with.  If you have any other outfit suggestions, feel free to write to me in the comments section below!
