Hi Linda!
ReplyDeleteThe dungaree pattern will be so useful to me now. I need to make something more for my baby for colder months, when he\she is around 3 months old :)

Way too cute Linda!!!!! You are so clever to work this pattern out and they really do look lovely! I like your little decorations too, lots of fun! xx
ReplyDeleteThey are so adorable Linda. Thank you for sharing your pattern with us. :)
ReplyDeleteHow very, very cute are these?? I am adding these to my list of must makes for my cousin who is expecting her first baby. As soon as she finds out if the baby is a boy or girl, I will get started! :) Thank you for this adorable pattern Linda!
ReplyDeleteIt's precious! So sweet!

wowzers!! totally awesome! pinned :)
ReplyDeleteThe dungarees are very nice!!!! And thank you for a pattern, Linda.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the adorable pattern. What is the equivalent of DK weight in US? Medium worsted weight yarn 4 or light sports weight 3?
ReplyDeleteLight worsted weight, Jessica. Usually a 4 :)
DeleteI only wish I had the time, with a full time job I try to get it in here and there......... Very lovely.
ReplyDeleteI will let you know how I do. Thanks for sharing.
I'm working on the second leg, I was wondering if you had to join the yarn to the last stitch of the first leg to do the second leg or do the second leg separate.
ReplyDeleteYou work the second leg separately Natalie :)
ReplyDeleteHello Linda!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this nice pattern. I tried to make it today, but I have some problem with the abbreviations. I am really new in crochet.
Would you mind if you let me know what does dec, ss and working straight mean, please?
Thank you again.
Blessings from Kosovo.
Elona
Hi Elona dec means decrease, ss means slip stitch, and working straight just means working the rows as set. If you have any further difficulties just google, crochet decrease and crochet slip stitch and you will find youtube video's to help you. :)
Deleteare these "shorts" or long pants?
ReplyDeleteThey are bermuda type shorts Susan but you could make the legs as long as you want them.
DeleteHi Linda
ReplyDeleteI've replicated your pattern

Hi Mariam I'm please you enjoyed making the pattern, if you send me a picture in an email I will put the picture on here for you. :)

DeleteSo sweet of you!!!
DeleteHi, Your pattern is so cute I'm making some for my new nephew - I'm really new to crochet however so I was wondering whether you could tell me what you mean by "work 1 row" or "work 3 rows" - is that just repeating the previous row 1 or 3 times? Many thanks for any help!
ReplyDeleteHi Paige yes that's right work 3 rows just means make the same row 3 times. :)
DeleteHi, i'm in the process of working on this patter. My question is are there two panels? A front and a back that has to be sew together. i'm a bit lost.
ReplyDeleteHi Alley yes you make one piece for the front and one for the back, both are the same. :)
DeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI made this 2 years ago and forgot to add it here as you requested. It was a fun pattern and your ideas for decoration got me started on creating a dungaree for our new "Oil Patch" baby, Hunter:) Since I could not find buttons to look like oil drops, I made them with Premo Sculpey baking clay, lol! I crocheted a pocket & sewed it on after I attached the embroidery I made in the letter "H"--same with his name patch. After finding a picture of an oil field derrick, I used it to create a crochet copy and crocheted it on, as well--a bit crookedly, unfortunately. If I could do it over, I would hand sewn the crocheted derrick to the dungarees. I used Sugar N' Cream cotton yarn for the dungarees and another yarn I bought at a yarn store for the derrick & the trim around the edges.
--Linda S.
They sound amazing! I would have loved to have seen a photo, I'm glad that you had so much fun with the pattern. :)
DeleteWhen it says "work 1 row" or "work 3 rows" is it the same as the previously listed row?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Yes it means work 1 or 3 rows the same. :)
DeleteHi. I'm making this adorable piece and I can't figure something out.
ReplyDeleteThis part:
Row 19:- dec 1st at each end of row = 42 htr
Work three rows
--- If I work three rows, same as that previous row, when I get to this row:
Row 23:- dec 1 st at each end of row = 40 htr
I should have 36 sts. Am I not to decrease in those rows? Just go straight across in htr? Or are the stitch counts off?
Thanks!
Hello Luna I have reworded the pattern hopefully it will be easier to understand now.
DeleteOh, thank you very much! Awesome.
DeleteThank you for your wonderful pattern, love making these
