American Girl Patterned Tank Top

I finally did it. I got my own site! I’ll be updating my patterns from my old site at kimations.blogspot.com over the next few months and adding them here. There are a few adjustments I want/need to make to them. I have more patterns designed and waiting to be written up and photographed. I’m also working on adding more sizes to my Nessa’s Sweater

Today I’m thrilled to share my American Girl Patterned Tank Top pattern with you!  It’s top down, seamless and one piece, which makes it quick to work up. The pattern is formed by alternating sc and dc. I’d love to see your finished top! You can share it with me on Facebook and/or add it to your Ravelry projects.

The following 18″ dolls have tried this top on: My Life, American Girl, Götz, Our Generation, Madame Alexander, and Springfield.
