Raggedy Ann and Andy Doll Pattern Sources

Here are three pattern sources for Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy bodies and clothing, and a toddler costume that are available on the internet. I've included a description of the contents of each pattern envelope.

1. Simplicity 3945 - One-size Raggedy Ann and Andy Pattern with Four Seasonal Clothes Outfits
These are patterns with instructions to make the 15 inch Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy dolls, and four seasonal outfits for Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. This is like getting several patterns in one with the different sets of clothes included. It is good to remember these are patterns for the one 15 inch size. The look of these dolls is the traditional look we've been used to seeing for so many years.

2. Simplicity 9447 - Raggedy Ann and Andy Doll and Clothing Pattern
This is a wonderful pattern. It contains both Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy in 15 inch, 26 inch and 36 inch sizes. Being a traditional Simplicity Brand Pattern, a very complete list of materials needed is provided on the back of the pattern envelope. Inside the envelope are instructions and tissue pattern pieces to make all the views on the pattern envelope.

3. Simplicity 9375AA - Raggedy Ann and Andy Costume Patterns for Toddlers
Now, this is not a doll costume, but perhaps your youngster would like to dress up like Raggedy Ann or Raggedy Andy. Here is a pattern in toddler sizes to sew. In keeping with all Simplicity Brand Patterns a very complete material list is included. And inside good instructions to sew, along with all the tissue pattern pieces. What fun for the kids to wear! When my kids were little they liked to dress up in costumes and present shows in the living room for us to view all year long. I kept all the Halloween costumes and dancer costumes, dog costumes (for people dressed as dogs) together in a box under one of the kid's bed. In wintertime, especially, dressing up and putting on plays was a fun activity.
