Rosehip Bobble Doll Dresses

Doll Dresses, Dolls ClothesElizabeth Primrose Patterns
Three hand-knitted pink and cream doll dresses featuring heavily textured bobble stitch skirts on tiny hangers.

Sleeveless, Short Sleeved and Pinafore Doll Dresses

Knit a trio of bobble-pattern dresses for your doll

The Rosehip Bobble Dresses bring together three charming variations of the same design: a short-sleeved dress, a sleeveless dress, and a classic pinafore. Each style features a heavily textured bobble stitch skirt that gives the collection its signature rosehip character, beautifully paired with twisted rib edgings for a crisp, modern finish.

Knitted flat on straight needles, the dresses are constructed in separate pieces and sewn together. The short-sleeved and sleeveless versions fasten neatly at the back with buttons, while the pinafore uses practical press studs (poppers) hidden beneath decorative front buttons. Clear written instructions guide you through each step, making this an enjoyable project for intermediate knitters.

Sugarplum Lace & Picot Set

Dolls Clothes, Doll DressesElizabeth Primrose Patterns

A Three‑Piece Doll Outfit in DK

There’s a special kind of magic in tiny lace stitches. The way they catch the light and the way a picot edge gives the softest little finish. 

A Sweet, Delicate Trio

Our Sugarplum Lace & Picot Set is designed to fit 12–18 inch (30–46 cm) dolls. This set includes three coordinating pieces:

• Matinee Jacket Knitted in separate sections — fronts, back and sleeves — before being slipped onto one needle to shape the yoke. The buttonbands are picked up and knitted for a neat, polished finish.

• Pinafore Dress Worked in two pieces, front and back, then sewn together. The lace pattern flows through the skirt with a crisp picot edge adding a gentle decorative touch.

• Matching Bonnet A soft, lacy bonnet finished with satin ribbon ties. Light, sweet, and perfectly matched to the rest of the set.

Each piece is worked in DK yarn, making it accessible, versatile, and ideal for gifting or display.

Why Sugarplum?

The name felt just right — soft, sweet, and a little bit magical. The lacework has a delicate rhythm, and the picot edging gives each piece a tiny sugared outline. It’s a set that feels both classic and modern, perfect for dolls who deserve something special.
