Hen
Party Bear
Muffy
the Chippendale
Okay, maybe there are a couple of us girls
that would still blush a bit at the Male Chippendales.
When I attend Hen Parties, I bring my own male dancer.
With Muffy, at the Bachelorette party, it is all smiles.
This pattern is dedicated to my late, great Mother-in-law, Monica.
I remember her glorious laugh, when Muffy arrived at the party.

a smaller hook to make this outfit for a smaller doll,
Or use a worsted weight and larger
hook for a bigger doll.
You can also adjust the number of
chains on the belt to be thinner or fatter.
The bow tie can also be wider or
longer by adding a few beginning chains or extra rows.
