Now what girl does not need a purse? And of course an American Girl doll needs her purse to make any of her outfits complete! This is the final winter accessory for the American Girl doll gift bag. Knitting is a great hobby and great for idle hands and to promote concentration. When I knit it is almost like meditation and I think knitting is a great skill to teach our young children. All the American Girl doll knitted patterns are great beginner projects and small enough and easy enough to get a child excited about knitting!
