I had some leftover yarn from a past project which I thought would be a good candidate for a dolly scarf. As this was variegated yarn, the amount of stitches I used resulted in a pretty striped pattern.
I think it turned out well and I used all the yarn literally to its last inch. And my American Girl doll Tenney appears to be pleased with the outcome :).
Here are some more 'candids' of the scarf:):
If you'd like to make a similar scarf, here is the free pattern for you :). It is really a very basic pattern that even the beginner knitters can master easily. Please note, however, that based on the yarns you use, your stripe pattern may look different.
A Scarf for an 18-Inch Doll:
Materials:
Size 5.5 mm knitting needles
Worsted weight yarn (Amounts may differ depending on the length of the scarf you'd like to make.For this scarf about 20 g of yarn was used).
Gauge (in garter stitch):
18 stitches - 10 cm
27 rows - 10 cm
Description:
The scarf is worked in garter stitch (all rows are worked in knit stitches). Cast on 10 stitches (8 main stitches plus 2 edge stitches). Work in garter stitch until the scarf length equals 43 cm (or longer, if desired). Bind off and weave in the loose yarn ends.
To make a fringe, measure and cut 14 pieces of yarn (7 for each side) in 10-cm increments. Fold the strands in half and pull through the first and last row of scarf stitches using a crochet hook. Pull through the loop to secure. To make a fuller fringe, use more yarn strands, as required.
