This pattern I have called Karen.  Karen was a lovely old lady visiting my mom from time to time when I was a little girl.  Karen had a mild and warm personality.  She always talked in a warm quiet voice.  It was always nice when she come.  She filled the room with a good atmosphere and it gives me good memories back to my childhood.

... some everyday clothes in burgundy and pink for my doll and then I thought. “Why not call this pattern for Karen?”  The skirt is burgundy and pink and have a row of roses between.  Round the waist, I knitted a rib with a row of eyelets. Through the eyelets, I pulled a chord in burg under.  Then I knitted a pink short-sleeved sweater with edges in burg under and my doll Karen had a lovely “dress” to wear. 

As I had some yarn left in these colors, I knitted a hat with a pattern and a crocheted flower sewed to the top of it. 

Still having some yarn left in burg under I knitted my doll Karen a pair of lovely warm shoes.  They are ...

I hope you too will like the clothes and enjoy knitting them.
