Shirt:

2) starting in the 2nd ch from the hook, 1sc in each ch (10) ch1 and turn
3-7) 1sc in each st for 5 rows - ch1 and turn at the end of each row and skip ch at the start of each row. f/o leaving a long tail for sewing

Button Closure:
Sew button to the top corner of shirt. Make a loop with the starting yarn tail, sew the end in place, knot off then weave in.

Put the shirt on the doll and take note where the straps should go. Sew each end in place as pictured.
The ends are sewn on the outside of the shirt.

Another option for closing up the back is crochet 2 chains, any length, sew one to each side. Look at the photo, I sewed one chain a little away from the edge and the other one close to the edge. This way the shirt has to overlap a bit when you tie up the chains.

If you chose to make the pocket, sew as pictured to the front and center of the shirt. Sew the bottom and 2 sides leaving the top open to make a pocket.

Pants:
The pants are the same pattern used to make the overalls. Go here, make only the pants part, skip the straps and front panel.

Donations of any size are greatly appreciated and help keep the patterns free.
