Crochet Pattern: American Girl Shawl/Wrap

Today is going to be a quick post since I am under the weather....again! Sinus infections are no joke! lol 

I wanted to get this pattern posted since a few people messaged me about it and wanted to know when I would be posting the pattern. :)

American Girl Crochet Shawl/Wrap Pattern

Inspired by the Claudia Scarf Pattern

You can make and sell things from this pattern but please make sure to link back to me if you blog about it. 

What you will need:

A small amount of yarn

A button of your choosing 

Needle and thread for sewing on the button

Yarn needle for weaving in ends

A 5.00mm hook or hook needed to obtain the gauge. 

US Crochet Terms

sk {skip}

dc {double crochet}

ch {chain}

The blue one is done in Naturally Caron Spa and the pink one is done in two strands of baby yarn held together at the same time.  Blue shawl/wrap measures about 15.5 inches wide by 3.5 inches from top to tip of shell.  The pink and white one measures about 16.5 inches by 4.5 inches from top to tip of shell.  After working your first row, you will want to measure your piece to make sure its between 15.5in - 16.5 inches to check your gauge.  If you are off a tad just adjust your hook accordingly. :)

With your 5.00 mm hook and your yarn {one strand or two} you will ch 58.

Row 1

5 dc in the 7th ch from the hook, sk 2

* dc in the next, sk 2, 5 dc in the next, sk 2 *

Repeat from * to * until you get to the last ch and then work 1 dc in that last ch space. 

Row 2

Turn 

ch 4, work 5 dc into the 3rd dc of the 5 dc cluster from the previous row, ch 1

* dc in the previous dc, ch 1, 5 dc in the 3rd dc of the 5 dc cluster, ch 1*

repeat from * to * ending with 1 dc in the ch 4 space of your beginning 6 skipped chains from row 1

Rows 3 - 6

Turn 

ch 4, work 5 dc into the 3rd dc of the 5 dc cluster from the previous row, ch 1

* dc in the previous dc, ch 1, 5 dc in the 3rd dc of the 5 dc cluster, ch 1*

repeat from * to * ending with 1 dc in the last stitch space. You will always end your rows with 1 dc. 

Secure your ends and weave them in with your yarn needle. 

You will want to sew your button onto a 5dc cluster so that it lines up with the hole from a 5 dc cluster on the opposite side.  See photo above to see what hole I am talking about. The arrow is pointing to the hole under the one I used for my button hole but hopefully you can see what I am talking about. :)  This way you can use that hole from your 5 dc cluster as your button hole instead of trying to work a button hole into the pattern. If you use a smaller button like I did, it fits great and keeps it secure on your doll, which is perfect for doll playing fun. 

After you sew on your button and weave in any stray thread ends you are finished! These work up very fast and easy, perfect gifts for little girls who love their dolls.  You could even customize this by making it bigger to fit waldrof dolls or any other doll your little one has. :)  

If you make one I would love to see the finished product! 

Off to get some rest before we are off to ballet :)
