This pattern is my own design for a knitted top and skirt. It is designed to fit an 18” American Girl doll.

The top is fully open in the back with 4 buttonholes for ease of dressing and is knit flat and top-down. The off-centre cable detail is repeated at the bottom of each sleeve.

The pattern will be sent as a PDF document. The document includes written instructions, as well as a pattern chart of the skirt.
