A quick knit pair of doll shorts that fit a variety of different sized dolls. They are high waisted, mid-thigh shorts with a drawstring waist to easily fit other dolls. Knit in mainly knit stitches with a ribbed waistband and short rows (for American Girl size only). They are the perfect pair of shorts for playing outdoors in the warm weather and knit with a medium weight yarn and average sized needles. I greatly enjoyed this quick knit project and hope you do too!

These shorts fit:

  • American Girl 18 inch Doll
  • 18/19 inch doll size (hip circumference of approximately 10 to 12 inches)
  • 16 inch doll size (hip circumference of approximately 9 inches)
  • 13/14 inch doll size (hip circumference of approximately 9 inches)
