Free crochet pattern for American Girl Caring for Baby and 8″ baby dolls
I adore this little doll. I 3-d printed her a crib. It is a little small for her to lay in but it is as big as I could make it and she looks quite cute sitting in it. These adorable little clothes I purchased from Sew and Bow Co on Etsy.
She needed a few bows to go with her new outfits in some basic colors so I crocheted them.
