Revisiting old patterns has brought forth a new beach outfit for Daniel. Here's a new outfit in progress for the Chibi Dolls in my shop. The top is derived from his sweater pattern.

I shall now revisit one of my published crochet patterns for an updated perspective. I realize that yarn colors can disappear over time in terms of availability.  For example, the main colors in the Daniel Tiger Chibi Doll pattern, Red Heart Super Saver in Warm Brown and Bernat Super Value in Topaz seem obsolete. So, they must be substituted. It has turned into a scavenger hunt to find either of them. So, I have decided to try I Love This Yarn brand from Hobby Lobby in the colors Sungold and Cinnamon.

Use the Daniel chibi doll pattern for the arms to finish the sweater. Making the sleeves is simply a change of color or two and leaving out the stripes. Everything else remains the same in the pattern. You can make one arm differ from the other by adding a watch band in dark brown. Either arm therefore includes a color change in Round 5.

Rnd 5 of the arm: in the 2nd decrease (dec), switch to dark brown for arm 1 and to the sweater color for arm 2.  Continue with pattern instructions. For arm 1 only, in the last sc of Rnd 6 switch to the sweater color. Finish the remaining rounds in the sweater color for both arms.

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.

Bonus tip: Using white yarn ch18 for a collar pull

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)

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.

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.
