I'm not sure if this is the actual name for them, but I remember that my Grandmother had one on the bed in her guest bedroom. Do any of you know where I can get a pattern for one. I think that the pillow bottom was crocheted...

Are you thinking of the pillows that were crocheted that looks like its part of the dolls dress? I will look thru some of my crochet books and see if I have a pattern.

Yes, the bottom was like one of those big hoop skirt type dresses. I am thinking that one would look nice on my guest bed. Thanks.

I have several patterns but am not sure exactly where they are. I recieved several (boxes) of old crochet world and workbasket magazines from my aunt. I did find one pattern for you. The doll on top is a 4 inch sitting doll. The top is all ruffles with a hood on the doll's head. I can email or snail mail the directions if you like.

Yes! Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for! I've been thinking of my grandma ever since one of my aunts suggested putting together a collection of our favorite memories of Grandma's House. I think I will make one real soon.

thanks siwian, if it's handy, I'd love to have the pattern <email address removed for privacy> is my email address. Don't worry if you cant find it as joanne gave me a pretty good link which has several patterns.

Could one of you help me? I have been looking for a pattern like the pink one shown,I think its the fourth one down. I don't see instructions for making that bed doll and that one is exactly like the one I had when I was little. I have wanted one like it for years.
