Last year I decided to make a holiday gift for all by writing up a pattern for the American Girl Doll (or any 18" doll). I thought a quick and easy project would be a blanket that was a little interesting to knit. I wrote up the instructions for a Checker Block Blanket as my holiday gift to you.
Here's my doll holding her new natural colored Checker Block Blanket before the Christmas tree.
Here she stands in front of three blankets - red, white and pink striped.
If you'd like to make a blanket for your favorite little girl and her American Girl Doll, you can download the pattern for personal use here. Enjoy and happy holidays!
The blanket is cute, but I am really admiring the sweater. What is the source for that pattern? I'd love to try that pattern.

Love the pattern! Also, the doll is wearing a very stylish sweater. Yours?

I'm not able to download the .pdf file, as it appears to be damaged.

The entry I wanted to comment on is closed. The helpful pictures and instructions for attaching the wallaby sleeves from September of 2009. I was desperate and googled for help and your blog appeared. Thank you so much! I would have had to spend a half a days time to find the nearest knitter for help. I think I should keep your blog bookmarked.

Thank you for the blanket pattern. I'm going to make one for each of my girls.
