Knitting for American Girl Dolls
Since adopting my 18" doll from Goodwill I have been hunting down American Girl size doll clothes patterns to knit.
These bell bottom jeans and white tank top came out a little big and still need blocking. The only reason they are big is I used a light worsted instead of DK.
The top is here: link and the jeans are here: link Both are available free on www.ravelry.com I love the seventies styling of the jeans designed by Cathy Bird.
The jeans have eyelets and a ribbon tie at the waist. They really flare on the bell bottom and I am tempted to embroider some flowers on them.
These jeans came about when I ran out of yarn on this project...
I went online and ordered another skein of Caron medium country blue, but what I needed had I been paying attention was ' lt country blue # 9709'. I found a skein of it today at Michael's. So happy to be able to finish this wonderful sweater. The pattern is really great I have made it before. It is designed by
Janet Longaphie and you can find it here: link
I think she will love her new cardi.
This is the reason that I ran out of yarn in the first place...Not pretty for adult knitters only.
I was a brat. Well I was sick too. I made a horrible cardigan and then proceeded to sew it together wrong. I couldn't bear to pull apart the seams and unravel it. Hence the real frog pond for the last of that skein of Caron Lt Country Blue # 9709.
I know you're all horribly disappointed in me now. I am sure I am the only one to ever give up totally and go to the pond.
