	Dot August 11, 2005 01:14 PM PDT Sorry, Aardvark, all the baby patterns I got from the net, you could try looking at Crochet Pattern Central, she's probably got all the patterns links there. I don't have any babies around to inspire me to create baby clothes, and Spike refuses to wear anything I make, so, I doubt I'll be designing any doggie sweaters either.


	aardvark August 11, 2005 11:38 AM PDT I'd LOVE to see more baby items or ptn. links/info from your baby page in the photo album. Also doggie ptn. (sweater?)


	Dot July 31, 2005 06:30 PM PDT Thank you, Leslie, I'm glad you like it. I love sharing my patterns with everyone.


	Dot April 2, 2005 08:04 PM PST Hi Kara, I don't know what size these pants fit. They are 18 inches around the waist and 8 1/2 inches from waist to crotch. If you need to make it larger, do a few more rows for the ribbed waist band and maybe add a few more rounds before starting the legs. Or, try larger hooks. Sorry I can't be more specific, I made these for my large sized doll.


	Kara April 2, 2005 04:53 PM PST what size are these adorable pants for? Hopefully 6-12. Thanks, I love your website


	Dot March 10, 2005 12:33 PM PST Thank you, Lisa. Do the decreases like this: yo, insert hook in next st, yo, draw thru stitch, yo, draw thru 2 loops on hook (2 loops left on hook) yo, insert hook in next st, yo, draw thru stitch, yo draw thru 2 loops on hook (3 loops left on hook), yo, draw thru 3 loops on hook. Decrease made. Hope that helps.


	Lisa March 10, 2005 11:52 AM PST Dot, I LOVE your patterns. Gorgeous work. I am wondering though, on the leg, at the end, row 11: do you mean decrease by two stitches? Like go in every 3rd dc? or in every 2nd?


	Dot October 2, 2004 02:39 PM PDT That's a little going home outfit made by Lynn's Designs. Here's a link to the patterns, but you have to sign up for membership to this site.

	donna October 2, 2004 10:41 AM PDT Hi Dot, Right now I am looking at the infant drawstring pants. They look to be warn and snuggly with a fitted waist/drawcord. From the picture, is that a sweater to match, in the works? Thank you for sharing with us another beautifully designed article.
