Doll Hat and Scarf pattern–Quick Gift Knitting!
Do you know a stuffed animal or American Girl Doll in need of some accessories? Well, good thing you decided to read our blog today! Our free pattern for a ribbed cap and garter stitch scarf is just what you need. Both use worsted weight yarn, and can be coordinated or contrasting according to your tastes.
Making these little items is a great way to use up some odds and ends sitting in your stash… I know I have plenty of little balls of yarn too small to knit a full-size project but too substantial and lovely to just get rid of.
The hat will fit dolls or stuffed animal heads with a circumference of 11.5″ or smaller, and it’s ribbed so the fit is flexible.
If you’ve never made a hat, this would be a great introduction without the yarn and time commitment of a full-size hat. All you need to know is Knit, Purl, and Knit 2 together on double pointed needles (or magic loop if preferred).
We are also offering a class based on these projects if you want some personal attention and assistance learning these useful skills!
The scarf is my favorite kind of super-easy, fantastic scarf: garter stitch knit the long way. It looks so much more finished and elegant with those long stripes and smooth edges. This kind of scarf is great for full-sized humans too, although the cast-on amount would of course be increased to accommodate larger creatures.
The yarn used for the hat is Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Worsted Multi, and the scarf is one of our absolute favorites, Koigu Kersti Solid, but it would also look fantastic in Kersti Multi.
Enjoy!

Coming up with the perfect Kippah pattern is harder than you might imagine. Our first several attempts came out flatter than pancakes. We tried to tell ourselves that somehow, magically, they would fit onto someone’s head despite their lack of shaping. When we went to photograph it a few days ago, reality had to be faced. The pancake-kippah would not be the new style.
