Continued from Part 3, the previous post, here is How To Add A Collar:
8) working in the back loops only for Rd25, sc-blo the entire round.

No changes to Rd26 except use sweater color

Note: the next row is not in the Daniel pattern
Sweater Collar:
Start a row of double crochet stitches to make a collar as follows. Begin at the middle of the chest in Rd25 of the Torso. Working in the front loops only (flo), attach yarn to a front loop at the middle of the front chest. Ch2, dc-flo in the next sc and the remaining 28sc. For a 2nd row: ch2, turn, hdc in the next stitch and the remaining 28dc. Fasten off and weave in the yarn tails.

This post continues from Part 2, the previous post. Using the Daniel Chibi Doll pattern.

4) [Continue until you reach the last stitch of Rd11 then start the Torso Rd12.] In the last stitch of Rd12 change to the sweater color (royal blue).

5) For Rd13 work in the back loops only (royal blue in photo)

6) For Rd15 work in the back loops only (royal blue in photo)

Finish the shoe using the Daniel chibi doll pattern

by Boston blogger - 4:34 PM

Here is yet another tip to get more out of your Daniel chibi doll pattern. If you read my last blog post that was Part 1 How to make a shoe with the Daniel chibi doll pattern. This is Part 2, the continuation where we left off. (For Leg#1) 1) Change to medium brown in the last stitch of RD 5.

2) For Rd6 of the Leg use the back loops only (15sc-blo). This is the only change to upgrade Leg #1. When you finish Rd11 fasten off.

3) For Leg#2: Repeat the shoe changes for the 2nd shoe. Change color as before at the end of Rd5. Work in the back loops only for Rd6 of Leg#2.

4) Continue until you reach the last stitch of Rd11 then start the Torso Rd12. In the last stitch of Rd12 change to the sweater color (royal blue in the photo).

For next time, Rd13 work in the back loops only (to continue the sweater)

How to make a shoe from Daniel Chibi Pattern

by Boston blogger - 9:38 AM

If you haven't tried this on your own already, here's a tip for upgrading your Daniel Chibi Doll Pattern.

1) Make a Shoe sole:
Starting with the first two rounds of the Foot, substitute white yarn for brown. (Remember to use two strands with a 7mm hook.) In the last sc of RD 2 change the yarn color to dark red.
