This pillow is meant to be for 18-inch dolls, such as American Girl, Our Generation, My Life As, and others. I also have a blanket that goes really well with it, so please click on the link if you would like to check it out.

Most of the pillow is knitted, but it has a crocheted border.

It’s a good project for a beginner knitter, as long as you are familiar with colorwork, and know how to switch from one yarn to another properly. If you’re not experienced with this, please look up a tutorial.

The pdf file includes the written instructions, as well as a graph to guide you through the pattern.

It is recommended that you read entirely through the pattern before starting with it. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.

For this pattern I used:

~ Mainstays 100% Acrylic yarn, 4-medium in the colors Black, Red, and White

You can use any other 4-medium worsted weight yarn you choose.

~ Knitting needles, size: US 8 - 5.00 mm

~ Crochet hook, size: I - 5.5 mm

  • I want to keep my patterns free for everyone to use, but in return I would like to ask you not to sell them or claim them as your own. You are free to sell the completed projects you make with my patterns, however.

Have fun, and happy knitting and crocheting!
