Blythe Pattern

[Gaynelle Beltramo]

Iam pretty sure you will have lots of ideas how to combine or alter lengths and parts, add collars or vary the skirt lengths. Just one last thing: The back part is designed to close overlapping. I fold back both pieces at the dotted line, add a top stitch and decide to either attach press buttons or close the dress skirt. I just place the folds on top of each other and sew up to the point where I want it to open. One press button at the neck is usually enough.

The following pictures show just a few of the many variations you can create with this pattern. The samples show the basic full dress form, and combinations of skirt and short top (1), long top (2) and tunic top (3). For the under-bust top I cut directly at the line without allowance. The last dress (green dress with button panel) on a doll. For this I added additional width (approx. 10 mm) in the middle for two tiny folds to create the panel.

I first encountered Blythes way back in 2006 or '07 way back on the other site but just got my first one this spring. She needed a wardrobe ASAP so I bought the Lisbeth pattern by TirinAndKatten on etsy and decided to methodically work my way through all four variations.

The last items I made in 2021 were a few Blythe doll pixie bonnets as gifts to to dolly friends. I completed 2 bonnets in full, but 2021 ended before I completed the rest of them. So these 2 bonnets were gifted yesterday, when we spent New Year's Day hanging out together. The first one is a bright pink bonnet with bow ribbons and candies; I've called the bonnet Candy Melody because of the candies and because she loves colourful candies. The second one is a bright orange bonnet decorated with crocheted white flowers.

Both of the bonnets are based on this free baby pixie bonnet crochet pattern by Shara Lambeth Designs. The yarn I used was Anette Eriksson Jeans Yarn that I found during a Spotlight festive season sale, and I worked using 2 strands for thickness.

The bonnet pattern required a 4.5mm hook but because a Neo Blythe's head is smaller, I used a smaller hook; I went with a 4mm crochet hook and also made some minor changes for fit. To adjust the fit, I loosely wrapped the starting foundation chain around her head to check before proceeding.

For the bows and candies in Candy Melody, I used the Scheepjes Catona and Schachenmayr Catania from my yarn stash, bought from one of my go-to crochet supply stores Tiny Rabbit Hole. The crochet bows were made using this free bow crochet pattern by Lilleliis. The candies are from this pastel mini sweets set crochet pattern by Pinky Pinky Blue, a purchased pattern on Etsy.

It was super fun making the Candy Melody bonnet for my friend because I know how much she loves bright candy colours, and it would fit perfectly into her Blythe collection and home studio. I added small brooch pins to the back of each bow and candy, so that all of them could be removed and re-arranged on the bonnet according to preference or need. It was a major pleasure and joy to see my friend's eyes light up when I told her that, and she spent the next hour playing with them, re-arranging them. She then put it on her custom candy calavera Amaryllis (on her IG), whom it suited way better than my Yui Jamie!

The pattern pieces were clearly marked and the placement guide was also easy to understand. I found the instructions much easier to understand than national brand patterns. I choose to use medium weight Heat n Bond iron-on stabilizer for the waistband. It gives a nice feel and lays flat.

These patterns are for some really simple clothes I made for petites a long time ago, they are made using felt just to keep it simple, but I have also used at least one of the patterns with other fabric - I just added some seam allowance and fray checked it all.

My first sewing project for sunidoll is a free pattern for sewing beach towels. They are the right size for Blythe dolls, too. I hope you check it out and tag me if you share your results on instagram, etc.

A soft and delicate knitted dress for Blythe dolls. It is knitted in one piece from metallic silver and fluffy white yarns but also looks great in one yarn. The dress has an open back above the skirt and requires no snaps or buttons.

The pattern is recommended for those with an intermediate level of knitting skills. The pattern uses bobbles and increases (M1L, M1R), though the bobbles can be replaced with store bought pom poms. It is knit in one piece from the top down and uses increases to shape. Under the sleeves are the only parts that need seaming.

This beginner friendly crochet pattern makes the cutest bunny or bear purse for the little one in your life. The sweet face is easy to create and the straps can be crocheted to any length for children of all ages. My kids love their mini Summer bags! They crocheted up quickly and easily too.

Introduction: In the vast world of fly fishing, certain patterns stand out not just for their effectiveness but also for their rich history and the stories woven around them. Among these is the Colonel Blythe fly pattern, named after the esteemed angler Colonel E.H. Blythe. In this comprehensive article, we'll delve into the origins, evolution, tying techniques, and practical tips for fishing with the Colonel Blythe fly, celebrating its enduring legacy in the realm of trout angling.

Origin and History: Colonel E.H. Blythe, a passionate angler and revered figure in the fly fishing community, is credited with the creation of the Colonel Blythe fly pattern. Born in the late 19th century, Blythe's lifelong pursuit of trout took him on a journey across the United States, where he explored a diverse array of trout waters, from the iconic streams of the Catskills to the rugged rivers of the Rocky Mountains.

Tying the Colonel Blythe Fly: The Colonel Blythe fly pattern is renowned for its straightforward yet elegant design, making it accessible to fly tiers of all skill levels. Here's a step-by-step guide to tying the Colonel Blythe fly:

Secure the hook in the vise and start the thread behind the eye. Tie in several strands of peacock herl at the bend of the hook, leaving room for the hackle and wings. Wind the herl forward to create a tapered body, securing it with tight wraps of thread. Select a hackle feather appropriate for the size of the fly and tie it in by the tip. Palmer the hackle forward, spacing the wraps evenly along the body, and secure with thread. Prepare two mallard flank feathers for the wings, tying them in at a slight angle to create a V-shape. Trim the excess feather material and build a neat head with thread wraps. Whip finish and apply a small amount of head cement to secure the thread wraps.

Fishing with the Colonel Blythe Fly: The Colonel Blythe fly's effectiveness on the water is matched only by its versatility in various fishing scenarios. Whether you're targeting trout in riffles, runs, or pools, the Colonel Blythe fly can mimic a wide range of aquatic insects, including mayflies, caddisflies, and stoneflies. Here are some tips for fishing with the Colonel Blythe fly:
