Knitted American Girl Retro Cardigan Pattern

I know a lot of my readers have quite the crafty streak so when I found this pattern for cute retro cardigan at SockPixie, I just had to share it with you.

Get your knitting supplies out and go download the free American Girl Cardigan pattern now. And if you make one, you have to send in photos (to share@dolldiaries.com) so we can show off your dolls’ new goods.

Oh, wait – look what else I just found! Crochet a tie free hat for your dolls or make a canopy bed for your dolls out of a box – brilliant!

And if you have been wondering why things have been a bit slow here lately, I have been ridiculously busy and have been working on a new site design for Doll Diaries, too. So, don’t be surprised if you stop in at Doll Diaries one day in the near future and things look a little bit different ;-)

  7. Gabrielle says:

    This site should have a chat box or something lol, so that not everyone has to comment on the post!!

  8. emma says:

    i was tlkin bout the hockey game :) USA won the olympics

    i was really happy that Canada won the hockey game though because they broke the record for the most golds for the winter olympics ! :)

  9. Rachel says:

    Gabrielle- they used to. And then they closed it for some reason. Don’t know why.

    On a seperate note-
    YAY! I am so ready for February to be over! Yay March is tomorrow! And then April and so on! Yay! I feel stupid! Oh well!

    hmm,I can’t see my comments!:?

  11. AG&FAN says:

    I posted something seconds ago but it dosen’t appear in the screen! :?

  12. AG&FAN says:

    so I think they should make a Girl of the Year character who lives in Banff.
    Plus that also means that she’ll have more warm clothes,since Banff isn’t too warm for Lanie’s and Chrissa’s meet outfits.

  13. emma says:

    yah a Canadian doll would be cute if your talking about Banff Canada but i doubt that because of the whole American Girl thing

  14. Sarah says:

    a canada doll would be cute!!! she could be like elizabeth where she moves to america but it wouldnt be that fun cuz she doesnt live in canada anymore…….

  15. Lauren says:

    You quit your job, Lena?

  16. Maya says:

    I’m so happy about the hockey!!!!!!!!! It was so close though!!!!! US played really well, I mean, it must be so nerve-racking to step foot on the ice of a hockey playing nation…but when the US team scored in the last 24 seconds I was so shocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Atleast Canada bumped its way up to third though, it was wavering between 4th and 5th most of the games, i would have liked it if they had been ahead of Germany…ah well…if you think about it, Canada did really well because there aren’t many athletes but they still beat the gold medal record! (like Emma said)
    They should totally make a GOTY whos part Canadian, part American and learns to appreciate the differences of each place or something…but yeah, all her clothes would have to be thick, not like Lanie’s shorts and Ts.
    Most of the AG dolls are all ‘currently’ (and by currently I mean in their stories) in the US, which isn’t very open minded of them, because tons of my friends live in places like Thailand, South Africa, Senegal, Brazil and stuff…they’re still Americans.
    Why did you quit, Lena?

  17. Maya says:

    do maplelea clothes fit on AG dolls???

  18. Lena says:

    Maplelea cothes fit, but not the shoes.

    Jess was in Belieze, and techinically Kaya, Lissie, Josefina don’t live in the USA. My spelling today is not its best, I don’t care.

    I quit because Universal gives bigger benifits, I hear, and you know, HARRY POTTER LAND!!!! (I. want. that. job.)

  19. Lena says:

    I just said everything, its awaitings moderation, so the only thing I care to repeat is Maplelea clothes fit, shoes don’t.

  20. Lena says:

    *headdesk* GRRRRRRR awaiting moderation!

  21. Lani says:

    The new AG store open on March 27th at 9am, I just read that at AG’s website. Yeah, I’m so excited!

  22. Juliet says:

    hi guys! I’m new here! I have tried to knit one of the patterns, I’m still working on it though…
    I’m excited too, Lani!

  23. Maya says:

    i’m excited, but it’s too bad it won’t be anywhere near where I live :(

  24. emma says:

    @Maya they do fit but kinda big :) not all the time but sometimes the tops fit snug on the arms (not very much) but yah!!! Also their leggings stop at 1 point of AG’s leg (the thickest part) but other then that i still put maplelea clothes on them

    oh forgot the shoes don’t fit :( sometimes they do though like with the orange high tops i put them on my AG’s alot :)

  25. emma says:

    And why did you quit your job Lena ?

  26. Sydnie says:

    Yay for the US!
    Where did you work before, Lena?

  27. Ashleigh says:

    Lena I can’t wait for Harry Potter land! I heard they’re building hogwarts abd diagon alley! Ahhhhh, my dad said maybe we will go spring break if we can get tickets!

  28. Ashleigh says:

    Ahh they’re building hogsmead too!

  29. Ashleigh says:

    You can eat at a Three broomsticks and go to Olivanders and Honeydukes and get cauldron cakes etc!

  30. Lena says:

    I just want Dueling Dragons back. They’re reopopening it as Dragon Challange with the Horntail & Fireball from Goblet of Fire.

    And I want some Honeydukes stuff.

  31. pioneerfan04 says:

    Those are so cute! I will have to try it since I love knitting. :D

  32. Maya says:

    what dolls do you have, Juliet?

  33. Maya says:

    i have Mia, Rebecca and Kate (a JLY) I had a few more but I gave them to my sister.

  34. Maya says:

    well, what’s hers is mine, but she spends more time with her dolls, I mean, all her friends are completely doll crazy and they take their dolls to school and everything…also because a lot of the dolls I had were very old, either i had gotten them at a garage sale or i had them for a long time, and she can fix up a doll really well…
    i kept Mia and Rebecca because I bought Rebecca really recently and she is new and Mia because me and my best friend had a lot of memories with her. Then I got Kate most recently at the VAncouver 2010 from my friend who got two of the same doll…

  35. Maya says:

    The one with caramel hair

  36. Maya says:

    thats too bad :(
    Which JLY do you look like, Juliet?????? (Grace, you’ve gotten me wondering about everybody :lol: )

  37. Maya says:

    i honestly don’t know…i’ll check though, but i have a piano recital soon, so i have to go, bye!

  38. Lena says:

    Juliet, there’s two with red hair & brown eyes. Hair’s not curly & they both lack freckles, but neither of those is hard to add.

  39. Ana says:
