Dolls Knitting Patterns

Hand knit patterns for the American Girl Doll and the Cabbage Patch Doll are always requested. There are not a lot of patterns for these clothes so if you can make up patterns, you would have a nice sale item.

I make American Girl Doll clothes for these dolls and design patterns. But I admit most of my knitting is on the looms or machines. I am very slow when it comes to hand knitting.

I am much too slow at hand knitting

My skill with hand knitting is so very average. But it does come in handy for finishing up items sometimes. I only really hand knit for family or myself. As far as selling the products I hand knit, I just don’t have the speed or talent for that.

It is best to know and acknowledge our shortcomings so we can work around them. I have seen a lot of beautiful handwork, from knitters that can produce these hand knitted items.

I have a good friend Sharon, she is so good at hand knitting she will take whatever project she is working on, to the movies. You will see her knitting away while watching the movie.

I on the other hand have to pay close attention to each and every knitted stitch I make. I can watch TV and crochet, as I don’t have to watch every crochet stitch that I do. But when it comes to hand knitting, I have to pay close attention.

So Sharon can use her hand knitting for profit, she also crochets so that can be added to her inventory items.

And of course we don’t want to forget the fashion dolls or Barbie dolls. I admit I do not make these items, have never had an interest in them. But you are not me, so this may be just your cup of tea. I have seen the hand made items for fashion dolls selling at Bazaars and such. So this is another option if you enjoy it.

Also a nice thing about knitting items for the fashion dolls are you can use up all the odds and ends of yarn you have. We always have lots of yarn balls around that are just too small to do anything with. A Barbie sweater, hat or skirt will use up these odd amounts.
