Free pattern: Chloe Cardi and Tee for 18″ Dolls

Rachael from Imagine Gnats shares a free pattern for making a cardigan and t-shirt set for 18″ dolls. She names this pattern the Chloe Cardi and Tee, after her daughter’s doll. Her pattern simplifies construction with the front and back bodice cut as one piece (no shoulder seam). the cardigan is lined for a nice finish. Her pattern is available in two sizes. Each fits an 18″ doll, but one is made for a larger chest measurement (American Girl dolls fit this category), and one is made for a slightly smaller chest measurement (Our Generation and Journey Girls dolls).
