Dolly Spring Poncho For American Girl Dolls Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Dolly Spring Poncho 
Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach of
 Posh Pooch Designs

My grand daughter's birthday is coming and 

I am having a blast designing her some doll clothes

 for her American Girl Dolls.

She asked for some "Dolly and Me" Things

 so this is the first one I came up with.

The Dolly and Me Spring Ponchos

She loves Purple, and I was thinking Spring.

I really love it.

I think the Bright flowers really make the 

Ponchos say,"Spring is Here!"

The Doll is wearing a "Simple Doll Dress" 

under the poncho.

You can find that Crochet Pattern here:
