If someone you know has an American Girl doll, then you aware of all the cloth choices they have and the cost of those outfits. With winter here, even a doll needs to stay warm on those chilly outings! Several years ago, when Stella had gotten her first American Girl doll – I knitted many winter pieces. A winter hat is essential for keeping the heat it and of course it needs to be stylish!
