Below are some listings for clothing that fits the popular American Girl doll and other 18" dolls. I knit the Norwegian style sweaters---and they are knit and tested to easily slip over your doll's head and arms---a small bow in the the neckline indicates the back of the sweater. Easiest way to dress your doll in her sweater is to slip a sock or even your hand over her HER hand when you put in the sleeve---then her little fingers won't snag the yarns. The trousers have elastic in the waist, the circle skirt has a velcro closure. I think you or your little girl will enjoy these outfits!
Here's a special skating outfit for your American Girl or 18" doll. The blue sweater is hand knit and has a white sparkle yarn for the Norwegian trim. The circle skirt is trimmed with fur--and the outfit comes with a matching fur headband. The outfit is $30.00 postpaid. Matching white leotards are 4.95, and her ice skates are $6.95. By the way, I can also offer leotards in other colors---------red, pink and black.
Another Norwegian sweater for your American Girl doll---this one in red and dark blue----with coordinating plaid trousers. This outfit is $24.00 postpaid. I also knitted a red and green Norwegian sweater with coord. plaid trousers, not shown, for a holiday look.
In this photo, a blue jeans outfit is created with the help of the hand knit sweater. The jeans are a stretch denim with fashionable red stitching. Your doll will enjoy fall and winter days in this casual outfit for $24.00 postpaid. If you have a favorite color combination for a sweater to pair with your doll's jeans, just let me know and I'll get my knitting needles busy!
Cute sporty sneakers will complete your 18" doll's casual attire----choose from navy, red or pink. They are a roomy fit that will accommodate a sock underneath easily. $7.95 a pair postpaid. I also have "patent leathers" in red, white, black, light blue ($5.50 a pair)and a pale purple/pink shade ($5.95 a pair) with a little strap at ankle. Also a black leather tie shoe is offered for $8.95--- so your doll (18" size) has lots of options! Inquire about doll socks, too--
Watch this space for more clothing for these popular dolls---or request a special outfit for me to sew or knit. Thanks for keeping in touch!

This is a darling set of SEVEN babies ----the seven days of the week, each resting on a small pillow with a foil tag with the name of the weekday.
