Model 0204D ELISABETH - Sweater to American Girl doll, Genser til Baby born, Sweater to
Baby born, Pants, cap,
shoes, scarf, and mittens
(This pattern fits 17" - 18" dolls like American Girl doll, Baby born (Zapf), Hannah (Götz) and Alexander doll)
The reason for this pattern is it's has a unique story.
A long time since Elizabeth, who lives in New Zealand, sent me a beautiful picture of a sweater her parents bought for her when she was a child.
When Elizabeth and her sister were small girls, their parents decided to make their dream come true. They had an old van, and together with a couple of other campers (for safety), they left for the adventure, leaving Elizabeth and her sister home along with an older sister and her family.
They traveled from country to country and visited lands in Europe, Scandinavia, and the Middle East. Their travel round the world lasted for 15 months. When they come back home, they had bought these lovely sweaters for their daughters. They have kept them all these years and loved them a lot.
The pattern is beautiful! However, it was given the small size for a doll. I had to adapt it. For very long, I have been thinking about how I could use this pattern for my doll knitting?
I knew I could not use the full design, but could I minimize it and still recognize that it was from these sweaters?
 I knitted the flowers in the same way that they were knitted around the shoulders from the original sweater. I also used the colors from the original sweater. |
 I also used the colors from the original sweater. |
When I had finished knitted for the doll, I was satisfied with the result. I could easily recognize the pattern. For the American Girl doll, the finished sweater looked great.However, it did not look so lovely on Baby born, who is a baby doll. To wear a sweater like this, ...
 ... you need to be a little older. So, I knitted another sweater for Baby born. I used the same colors with a little pattern from Elizabeth’s sweater and some brown stripes. I think this one looked much better on Baby born, and of course, this one is excellent for American Girl doll as well. |
 As usual, I always use to knit an outfit for your doll. Therefore, I knitted pants in retro red with brown edges, stripes, and a brown top. The pants are buttoned on the shoulders and matched the sweaters perfectly. |
 Then I knitted caps for the dolls. |
 The cap has a pattern from the sweaters and stripes and edges in brown ... |
 De er knyttet med en snor som strammes i en sløyfe på toppen. |
 For the accessories, I knitted a pair of socks in retro red ... |
 ... and two scarfs, one in red ... |
 and one in yellow. The mittens are knitted in yellow and sewed to the ends of a chord |
Your doll will look stunning
 Dressed in these fashionable and beautiful winter clothes knitted in lovely warm colors, ... |
 ... I am sure you will love this outlet and enjoy knitting it.Good luck! Regards Målfrid |
