Raggedy Ann Costume
Raggedy Ann, a rag doll with red yarn for hair, is a character that was created in 1915 and appeared in a series of books for young children. I thought it would be fun to design a costume inspired by the famous rag doll. Pattern is written for sizes 0/3 months – 18/24 months. My Raggedy Ann Wig pattern goes up to adult size. Pattern for the legwarmers is here.
August 23, 2018: We are in Wildwood, NJ for our family vacation this week and Ashley was super excited to spot a Raggedy Ann doll on the Boardwalk! You can get your own Raggedy Ann doll here!

Materials
– I/5.5 mm crochet hook
– tapestry needles
– stitch markers
– worsted weight yarn in white, red & blue
Finished Sizes
0/3, 3/6, 6/12, 12/18 & 18/24 months
Gauge
15 dc stitches and 11 rows = 4 inches
Important Notes
Use an I 5.5 mm crochet hook & begin with the blue yarn.
Instructions between two asterisks should be repeated for the remainder of the round.
Your first dc always goes in the same st where you joined and made your ch 2.
Pictures to help show rounds 1-5 are from my unicorn dress so you can ignore the color changes.
***Be mindful where you place your next dc after making the v-stitches. If your stitch count is off (low), you likely skipped over that next st you were supposed to dc into.***

Sleeves
Use an I 5.5 mm crochet hook & blue yarn.

Attach white yarn to the left side of the dress. You are going to be working between the stitches where the white and blue rounds of yarn meet.
