Here's Kelly in her three Christmas outfits. If you change the yarn colors and the details, you can turn these into year-round outfits instead!

Crocheting Clothes for Your Amazon Kelly Doll

In 2006, Mattel added a new Kelly doll mold to their collection. This new mold was 6” tall and was only made for a very short time. No boy versions of the 6” Kelly were ever made. Collectors nicknamed this Kelly doll the Amazon Kelly. She is a very cute and rare doll to find. It is especially hard to find clothing that fits her, so it is necessary to learn to make your own outfits.

Outfits for Christmas—or Any Time of Year

This article includes a pattern for a poinsettia dress, a Santa Suit, and a Mrs. Claus dress. The patterns are intended for seasoned crocheters. Although I've styled them all for Christmas, the outfits could be modified to fit other ideas. For example, the poinsettia dress could be made with pink thread and a flower applique to change it into a spring dress.

Items Needed (for All Three Patterns)

2.25 MM crochet hook
Red, black, green, and Christmas mix size 10 thread
White Moda Dea Dream Fuzzy yarn
3 small snaps
2 small white pompoms
Small poinsettia or other small Christmas appliqué

Stitches Used

Ch = chain
Sc = single crochet
DC = double crochet
HDC = half double crochet

Mrs. Claus Outfit

Follow these instructions to create this cute Mrs. Claus get-up. This pattern also works for a regular Kelly dress, if you change the colors and omit the hat and fuzzy trim.

Thanks for the tip Heather!

Thank you for the nice comment skperdon! The nice thing about that dress is that if you make it a different color with a different appliqué you can have a whole new look - all with the same pattern.

Good luck with your crochet! :)

I've done crocheted doilies and chair backs so far. I haven't done woolen patterns so thank you for your poinsettia dress pattern. I love it.

HeatherH104 (author) from USA on June 18, 2013:

Thank you Dez! I love your Barbie patterns and am going to try a few. :)

It's true there are not many patterns for the 6" Kelly doll. It's been fun coming up with these designs and experimenting with other ideas.

Thanks so much for the comment and vote up!

Nice patterns! When I just started out, I first made clothes for that same size Kelly in your photos. I moved on to Barbie after exhausting all the free patterns online.

Voted up!
