DUCK DYNASTY A LaRusse slim 18” doll outfit.
This jacket and hat set is a slimmed-down version of the original that I wrote for full bodied 18” dolls.

This pattern will create a jacket and Russian style Ushanka hat to fit 18” doll with slim body. Some of such dolls are Kidz n Cats, Journey Girl and similar. (Journey dolls use larger size hats available in my full bodied pattern of the same design)

Chest measurement for the model in the photos is 8 1/2” around. The pattern can be used for any doll with this measurement regardless of its length, which can be adjusted by manipulating number of rows in the pattern.

By using the yarn listed here and achieving the listed gauge you will create a perfectly fitting doll clothes.

The yarn used here is either Aran or worsted weight yarn as well as Sherpa-looking yarn like the Bella Soft Panda, Dark Horse Enchanting, fun fur and finally Pipsqueak for “fur” trim knitted on needle sized to achieve gauge. You will need about 120g / 120 yards of yarn in total. Yarns and trim colors can be complimentary / matching or contrasting.The jacket is done without side seams. The hat can be “worn” several different ways.

Inspired by some of the wonderfully self-patterning yarns that resemble camouflage design once knitted and a cold weather we are all experiencing this year I created the original model.

This cold Winter made me remember how as a child I kept warm by wearing a traditional / almost military Russian hat Ushanka. It can be worn so many different ways; ear flaps tied under your chin for most cold protection, tied on the top of the crown in a military style and finally my favorite “girly” way with ear flaps folded back and tied on the back.

This is a quick and easy project.
This particular pattern is written for slim bodied 18” doll.
Full bodied doll pattern is also available in my shop.
