Fern Summer Top Crochet Pattern for 18" Dolls

GAUGE (Important to ensure your finished piece fits properly): 9sts and 7 rows in hdc = 2"x2"

A cute, textured little top/ sweater for 18" dolls such as American Girl®, it features mini bobble stitches and V stitches and is fun to make and a stash busting pattern!

The sweater can be made as a top, or crocheted with sleeves for a sweater. It is crocheted from the top down, with a split at the top, which will be buttoned. The top/ sweater is then joined together after the sleeve divide, for the body section and worked in the round. The ch2 at the beginning of the hdc rows are then used for the button holes. There's no sewing together of individual pieces of the garment. The only sewing needed is for the buttons at the end and of course the weaving in of the ends :)

The pattern includes written step-by-step instructions with photos (15 photos in total!). If you would like to save printer ink you can choose to print pages 1-3.
