The German word Lederhosen means “Leather Breeches”.  Originally these pants were commonly worn as work wear for hard physical work across central Europe. Today they are worn as leisurewear and considered traditional folk costumes in regions like Bavaria and Austria. They are also seen at Oktoberfest events across the world. Lederhosen have become a symbol of regional pride in Bavaria and other areas where they are worn.
With this pattern you can sew your doll his own Lederhosen with H-Style suspenders and a felt Alpine hat.
The pants have a drop front flap and two working pockets in the front. There is a single side pocket. I have simplified the pants for it to be more practical for doll size and easier doll play.
The area for embroidery is very small on these doll size pants. You can add hand or machine embroidery to the front flap and pants front. An instruction for this is not included.
Pair the outfit with white or green socks, brown leather look shoes and a white or check button up shirt.

Made to fit 18 inch dolls such as American Girl.
