This  sweater pattern for 18" dolls, such as American Girl dolls, and Next Generation dolls can be found in 

"Knits for Girls and Dolls" 

For a roomier fit I used size 6 and size 9 straight needles.  

I worked fronts at the same time and both sleeves at the same time.

For the skirt I cast on 56 sts with size 4 needles and did 4 rows of K1P1

for the waistband. Change to size 5 needle.

Then I K1, increase 1 in the next stitch and about every fifth stitch across the row - about 11 times.

Knit for a few rows before doing another increase row. 

K1 and increasing 1 in every third stitch across row.

I continued knitting for about 5 inches in length. 

Sew up back seam.  I also crocheted a lace effect around the bottom edge.

These festive hats are a perfect gift for the holidays!

They are based on two Lion Brand patterns which I adjusted 

for size, varying the number of stitches. 

The solid color hats pattern can be found here.  I did not use two strands of yarn and I used size 10 needles, casting on 70 sts. then changing to size 10 1/2 needles after ribbing.

This adorable Barbie dress, knitted in one piece, slides on easily and she is ready to play!  The pattern is easy to follow - I used size 2 needles and added the shoulder bag.   The Lion Brand "Cookies and Cream" light, self striping yarn makes for an adorable dress. 
And blanket!  I cast on 68 sts with size 8 needles and did seed stitch on the edges.  You can make in any size.  This one is 14"x 16" completed.
