18” US Marine Doll Uniform

I have been wanting to make this little costume pattern for some time now. But had gotten too busy, so here it finally is. What fun this was. It is all done with basic crochet stitches. The decals can be used from little things that you get at the dollar store.
This crochet pattern is the perfect gift to make for any military family. A great memory keepsake. The pattern is written in US terminology and takes very little yarn.

I am hoping to eventually get all military outfits done in these 18 inch doll sizes.

You will not need a whole ball of yarn for this outfit. I used very
little yarn. I used Redheart super saver, 4ply yarn. You can use any
4 count yarn for this project.
