American Girl Doll Mrs. Claus
Last year I posted about the Santa dress, but I must say after thinking about it the outfit seems more like a Mrs. Claus outfit. The dress is based on Darski’s free Pilgrim outfit found on Crochetville. This has become my go to pattern for American Girl Dolls as I can change it around for different looks and still work it up quickly when I need something that I know I can complete. The dress is made using Caron One Pound yarn. I do not know what brand the white trim is because I keep picking it up at Church sales. I have never had to buy any at the stores.
The Santa hat was also made from free Santa Hat pattern that I have used several times now. The person who asked for the outfit requested that I use red Bernat Happy Holidays yarn instead of the matching Caron for the hat.

I love this pattern! I used to do a lot of crocheting myself, but just haven't had the time to keep up with it. The last item I crocheted was a toy rabbit and that was for my son before he was even born. (He had his first birthday on the 5th of October) There are lots of creative ideas here, that's for sure!
