Easter Parade, by Little Miss Muffett - Lace, Ribbon and Ruffles – very feminine and perfect for Easter: The Pantaloon-style pants have appliquéd bunnies on the sides of each leg; the bunnies have cotton tails and ribbons at the neck. The high-waisted, bibbed top has two layers of fabric for the skirt and double ruffled shoulder straps. The top, shoulder straps and pantaloons are adorned with ribbon and lace at the hem edges. The top closes with hook and loop tape by tucking the straps behind the waistband.
The fabulously fitting lace hat is stiffened and then edged with binding trim. Decorate it with lace, ribbon, silk flowers or decorative buckles, the choice is yours. This relatively easy PDF pattern is designed to fit 18” soft-bodied dolls such as American Girl®.
Complete your Easter ensemble with the Little Miss Muffett Easter Eggsentials crocheted Easter basket pattern, available individually on Pixie Faire as well as in a bundled package with the Easter Parade pattern.
