Create a Complete Cozy Outfit for Your Doll with
the 0249D Grynet Pattern – Ideal for Knitting for
American Girl and Baby Born Dolls This Fall

Model 0249D Grynet
Sweater, pants, cap, scarf, mittens and socks
(This pattern fits 17" - 18" dolls like American Girl doll, Baby born (Zapf), Hannah (Götz) and Alexander doll)

The garment is finished with a ribbed neckline, cuffs, and hem, ensuring a perfect fit. For an added touch of charm, a button closure at the back makes it easy to dress and undress your doll, while maintaining the sweater’s neat appearance. It’s the perfect choice if you’re knitting for American Girl and Baby Born dolls, as the fit and design are tailored for their dimensions.

The pants were meant to be functional and comfortable, but also have details that set them apart from simple, traditional pants. The hole row for the waist cord was a natural choice to make the garment adjustable, while also adding a decorative effect. I also chose to add a crocheted picot edge on the pant legs to give a feminine and delicate finish. This makes the pants both practical and stylish.

Paired with the sweater is a set of cozy pants, designed to match perfectly with the rest of the outfit. These pants are not only practical but also stylish, featuring pattern B (a delightful stitch detail) around the legs. The pants are worked in the round, ensuring seamless comfort, and the adjustable waistband, adorned with a decorative cord, offers a snug fit.

A row of eyelets at the waist allows for the cord to pass through, adding a functional and decorative element to the design. These pants are perfect for keeping your doll warm while exploring the vibrant autumn leaves, making them ideal when knitting for American Girl dolls or similar-sized dolls.

The real highlight of this accessory is the delicate bow stitched at the top, adding a whimsical and playful touch. The cap is the perfect combination of style and functionality, making it an essential piece for any fall outfit.

The sand-colored hat balances the sweater and pants and provides a calm contrast to the stronger colors in the set.

Simple Elegance: A Garter Stitch Scarf for Warmth and Style

To complement the cap and sweater, the pattern includes a cozy scarf knit in garter stitch. Measuring 33 cm in length, it is the perfect size for wrapping around your doll’s neck to protect against the chilly autumn breeze.

Finishing Touch: Stylish Green and Sand Socks
with Perfect Fit for American Girl and Baby born Dolls

The socks were designed with comfort and fit in mind. The heel and toe shaping are perhaps the most technically challenging parts, but I wanted to make it as easy as possible for the knitter to achieve a smooth and good result. The sand color with a green contrast makes the socks a perfect finishing touch to the outfit.

Heel and toe shaping can be technically challenging, but they are also one of the most important details for ensuring comfort and fit.

Finally, the outfit is completed with a pair of cozy socks. These socks feature a snug heel and a ribbed cuff, providing a secure and comfortable fit. The combination of green and sand-colored yarns, along with a decorative stitch pattern, makes these socks both functional and stylish. The picot edging around the top adds a sweet finishing touch, making these socks as delightful as the rest of the ensemble.

For smooth heel and toe shaping, knit the stitches tightly enough to avoid holes, but not so tight that it becomes difficult to work with. Consider practicing on a sample first to master the technique.

The perfect choice if you’re knitting for American Girl and Baby Born dolls

Knitted in a soft sand color, the mittens are as charming as they are practical. Designed to be worn with a cord that can be threaded through the doll’s sleeves, these mittens will never get lost! The thumb-less design ensures an easy fit, and the pattern incorporates the same stitch detail seen throughout the collection, tying the whole look together. A perfect accessory for those frosty mornings!

I have worked to balance style and function, while also aiming to make the knitting fun and rewarding.

The choices I have made, both in design and colors, reflect a desire to create an outfit that is as beautiful to look at as it is practical to use for the dolls.

The perfect choice if you are knitting for an 18" doll.

Sweater
•    Advice for ribbed neck:
   "When knitting the ribbed edge, make sure not to pull the yarn too tight. A too-tight ribbed edge can make it difficult to fit the sweater over the doll’s head. Knit loosely and evenly for the best elasticity."

•    Advice for Pattern A:
   "Consider using stitch markers to keep track of the pattern repeats, especially if you are working with a complex pattern. This will help you maintain the correct number of stitches and avoid mistakes."

Pants
•    Advice for the hole row for the cord:
   "When making the hole row, ensure the hole is large enough to thread the cord through, but not so large that it becomes loose. Use a crochet hook to help thread the cord if necessary."
•    Advice for the crocheted edge on the pant legs:
   "If you are a beginner at crocheting, practice on a small test piece first to get the right tension. This will give you a smooth and decorative edge."

Scarf
•    Advice for finishing the scarf:
   "To achieve a clean edge on the scarf, ensure to knit evenly and with consistent tension throughout the work. Blocking the scarf after finishing can also contribute to a smoother edge."

Cap
•    Advice for sewn top and bow decoration:
   "When sewing the top of the cap, make sure to pull the thread evenly to avoid lumps or unevenness. The bow decoration can be sewn on with small, invisible stitches for a neat finish."

Mittens
•    Advice for shaping at the tip:
   "When shaping the tip of the mittens, try to keep the decrease even and tight. This provides a snug finish that conforms to the shape of the doll's hand."

Socks
•    Advice for heel and toe shaping:
   "For smooth heel and toe shaping, knit the stitches tightly enough to avoid holes, but not so tight that it becomes difficult to work with. Consider practicing on a sample first to master the technique."
