Wonderful Knitting Patterns for 18 inch dolls from this Canadian Etsy shop

 

Stylin Doll Knitz is a Canadian Etsy shop with fantastic knitting patterns for 18 inch dolls.

 Shop owner Jo has created fantastic PDF knitting patterns in fun fashionable styles for both American Girl and Maplelea Dolls. 

the Mitten pattern is my favorite and something I aspire to learn to do. I am practicing my knitting and hope to be able to make some by Christmas next year!

This sweater set for both girls and dolls is just beautiful and the color chosen for the cover is my favorite!

A great beginning knitting or quick gift set is this girl and doll sized beret

 

Shop owner Jo is based in Toronto, and was born and raised in  Cape Breton Island.

"If Cape Breton was a country, knitting would be the “National Sport”, the Olympics would be funny though, all the knitter's, crocheter’s and quilter’s at the same venue, the ideas, it would never end, no one would go home. We’d probably come up with some interesting stews too. And then we’d embroider something."

 

I have always loved to knit, have been knitting for 40 years. I also adore dolls, have since I was born, (not telling the years on that one).

Some of you may know that I am a mom of three boys, two of my boys have Autism, and I too am a work at home Mom, Jo also has a son with Autism and is a work at home mom, creating patterns and outfits for us all to enjoy.

She says "In the past few years, since he has gotten a little older I decided to keep myself busy by combining my two favorite things. (OK, I'm avoiding housework!)
And, "Stylin" Doll Knitz... was the end result.
I hope you enjoy making these outfits as much as I enjoyed designing them."
