A New Dress for my American Girl

This hand knit dress is the latest addition to my collection.  Once again this summer my dolls and their hand made outfits will be on display. It is my hope that the presentation will encourage others to learn to knit and sew.

Dress is knit in one piece, split for the bodice and then seamed at the center back.  The pattern is a chevron pattern knit on U.S. size 6 needles using Plymouth Encore DK weight yarn.  It is from one of my favorite doll pattern booklets,  Dolly Mixture #622 by Plymouth Yarn.  Unfortunately, this booklet is out of print but it is available from several sources on the web.
