I paid for your AG beret pattern and paypal payment went through but no pattern directions. Isn’t that supposed to be instant?
sandy
Would you check your paypal account and send the pattern?
September 7, 2009 at 12:01 pm
Almost…..usually takes a few minutes and the link will show up in your email. Let me know if you have any problems.

February 7, 2010 at 8:17 pm
I just found your site and was pleasantly surprised at the beautiful patterns that you are sharing.
I am still a beginer and do not understand the term (dec sc)I must be having a senior moment.
Does that mean decrease by combining 2 single crochet?
Thank You,
Karen
February 7, 2010 at 9:44 pm
Thank you so much for your interest in the patterns. LOL! I know what you mean! That is exactly it. Decrease 2 sc crochet into one.
February 24, 2010 at 12:26 pm
Hi there,
finally getting around to making these for myself and am also finding them too small, but that’s okay because I am going to use a bigger hook and see if that works….
however reading here i see there was a corrections made and I wonder if I got the corrected pattern or not, I can’t remember when my order was but perhaps you would have a record and then know which one I received….also wondering if there were larger sizes yet…some of us have big footed teenagers…lol…
thanks so much

(:o) what does F hook and E hook and stuff mean? The hooks I get have 5.0 and 5.5 and stuff on them
June 4, 2010 at 7:15 am
I used Boye Aluminum crochet hook…..E=3.25, F=3.75 There are some differences in size from manufacturer to manufacturer……it drives me crazy!
You’d think they would all be uniform in size! LOL….I think mine are antiques….they list the size by letter and the price $.25. This site has a pretty good conversion chart:

Hi,
I came across this web site searching American Girl Doll Clothes. The patterns are absoutely beautful and
easy to follow. I am hoping to sell some of my work.
Thank You So Much
You are an inspiration…..
June 23, 2010 at 10:27 am
Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s my pleasure. Good luck in your venture!
June 24, 2010 at 7:04 pm
One problem. How big are my stitches supposed to be? Evrything I make is just SLIGHTLY too small! 😮 sorry to bother you!
June 25, 2010 at 7:02 am
You may need to check gauge (which I really hate to do!)……if it works out too small…..you can move up to the next size hook. This would correct the size problem……
and it’s no bother at all!
July 18, 2010 at 3:28 am
I want to make your Vintage drawstring bag for my daughter’s wedding but am having difficulty working out hook sizes & thread equivalents for U.K. materials. Please help.
July 18, 2010 at 6:52 am
This is a conversion chart for hook sizes……a size 0 (US) is 00 (UK). The thread I used in a bedspread weight cotton thread. Hope this helps.

Do you know somewhere that I can find free sewing patterns for AG dolls?
July 19, 2010 at 5:07 pm
The American Girl site sometimes offers “retired” outfit patterns. It’s hit and miss. I have 3 and would be happy to send them to you via email. They can easily be adapted for a number of outfits……
July 19, 2010 at 5:23 pm
me and my cousin are making a doll clothing business, and i was wondering if we could sell clothes we made using your patterns. I looked for legal stuff, but i couldn’t find it, and i just wanted your permission. we could give you credit in our catolouge or something if you want. By the way, I love the doll bunny slippers.
July 19, 2010 at 6:21 pm
Please feel free to sell your finished projects……I would be happy to send you an email for your records if you need it. It’s wonderful to offer credit for thepatterns and I really appreciate that! Good luck with your venture!

Hi Carol,
I would like to make the Western Gear pattern for my baby grandson to wear for Halloween. Is there a way to convert your pattern from a doll pattern to a baby pattern? Thank you.
August 16, 2010 at 6:33 pm
Flori:
How old is your grandson….or what size does he wear.? It can be adjusted by increasing the stitches, change to 4 ply yarn and perhaps an H hook. Let me know and I will try to crunch the numbers for you.
Carol
August 18, 2010 at 12:59 am
Hi Carol,
I sent you an email yesterday but don’t know if you received it so I’m resending it here.
He is 8 weeks old now and still wears newborn clothes. I would think by Halloween he would be wearing 3 month size. H hook and 4 ply yarn is what I was planning on. Thank you for your help.
August 18, 2010 at 6:45 am
How sweet….a little guy! Give me about a week or so (I have to finish up a couple commercial patterns) and I will get it posted here and send you an email also. Your email never showed up, but I also have the world’s worst internet service!
August 26, 2010 at 6:18 am
I love your patterns. But I have a request. I have been out of work for a long time and have decided to make use of my knitting and crocheting skills to try to get some sort of income. May I use your patterns to create some AG clothes to place on ebay? If you say no I will not, but I would appreciate your permission. Thank you.

Hi Carol,
Your patterns are so cute and it is so nice of you to let people sell the finished products. I’m not in a hurry but I was just wondering how it’s going with the Western Gear outfit for babies. He is now 10 lbs. and 22 inches long. I love that Hippies outfit so much I’d love to have one for me. You are very talented and I’m so glad I found your website. Thanks for your help.
August 27, 2010 at 10:21 am
Hi Flori:
I am just finishing a couple commercial patterns and will start the western set very soon…….should be ready in about 2 weeks, I plan to work up 2 sizes…….0-3 and 3-6 months. I will send it to you as soon as it is finished.
Carol
August 29, 2010 at 6:31 pm

September 7, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Carol, you are wonderful. Thank you so very much for the patterns and how you added the chaps was going beyond what I asked for. I can’t wait to make this and have the baby wear it. Thank you again. Flori

Hi Carol, I purchased your croc sock pattern off ravelry yesterday, I was so excited about this pattern I dove right in, no problems crocheting it up,very well written, my only problem is with the lining inside my crocks now dont fit! I am wondering do you have to use crocs that once had a liner in them already, that your replacing? are they made bigger? I am using my summer crocs, like the pattern suggested and aran wt yarn, I thought about using a dk wt yarn but would have to modify the pattern completely, increasing rounds, stitch counts…yikes! I am totally bummed 😦
November 12, 2010 at 3:50 pm
Hi Amanda.
You can use the liners in your winter crocs but will need to remove the old liners. You can unbutton them from the side button and they will come right out. I use them in my summer crocs……iinsert the liner in the croc and with your hand, push them into the croc so that they are secure and completely in the croc. Mine still fit with the liners in and I still wear socks with them. I used Red Heart, but if you use Caron’s or Paton’s, it’s not as bulky and may solve your problem. In doing this, you may need to move one size up. Hope this helps.
Carol
November 16, 2010 at 4:45 pm
I am thinking this just isn’t going to work for me…boo. I took your suggestions and used a less bulky yarn, and had to use the pattern for the men’s 12” to get it to fit my 11” sole. I am using my summer beach crocs and once I put in the crochet lining, the circumference is to small for my foot to slide in. I don’t think my feet are abnormally huge..lol. I had my daughter try it on and it was to snug for her as well. Well I gave it a good shot 🙂 thanks for your help. I loved the idea of a customizable lining…brilliant!
December 19, 2010 at 4:11 pm
I found your Men’s Cap crochet pattern on Ravelry. I like the pattern, but I have a question. Do you mean on rounds 8 – 15 to repeat round 2? If so, then round 8 would have 144 stitches, round 9 – 288, etc. Do you not mean for rounds 8 – 14 to repeat round 4?? I hope this is so, because on all rounds 8 – end, you state there are 72 stitches. Please let me know if I am assuming something wrong.
December 19, 2010 at 4:47 pm
My apologies, you are correct……it is repeat rnd. 4.
March 28, 2011 at 5:27 pm
I was reading the posts and saw the traffic about the baby’s western set that was converted from a doll clothes set. I was wondering if you kept that pattern, as I have a 4 month old grandson I would love to make it for if it were avable. Thanks.
March 28, 2011 at 6:31 pm
No problem….it’s on the way. Enjoy!
April 4, 2011 at 11:49 pm
Hi Carol, Just found you website from Maggie’s website. I read a little blip about you and saw that you are from Mio, Mich. I have a cousin that lives there. She is the principle at the elementary school there. Small world. Oh, I really love your patterns.
April 5, 2011 at 7:36 am
LOL……very small world! If you say you live in Michigan, everyone thinks you’re in Detroit! Thank you so much!
April 11, 2011 at 9:24 pm
I am from Mich and have relatives living there. My aunt and uncle used to own a resort in Mio and one of my cousins still is there. Her name is mickey sammons. Do you by any chance know her?
It sure is a small world.
I love your dish cloths. I made the one with the scrubbie in the middle. I have copied a lot of them. Keep up the good work. They are beautiful.

Thanks for the Crocs Socks pattern! Started working them up…a little bigger on the hook, as my feet are size 11, but so far, so good. I’ll make bunches of these just for slippers for family!

Thank you Crystal……what size are you looking for? There are a couple of ways……….
April 24, 2012 at 4:19 pm

On your Lava Rock dishcloth that you submitted to Maggie Weldon, there is a problem with rounds 12 and 13.
you have 84 sc @ the end of Round 12. Round 13, as it is written, only “uses” 77 of the 84 stitches.
I will check back to see if you replied and fixed the errors. You can email me since WordPress requires it.

Hi carol I really like one of your patterns the slouchy beret with buttons. I have altered the pattern because it was a little too slouchy for me. Would it be ok if I sold the pattern since I altered it? I don’t know how to go about doing this and i defintitley dont want to get in trouble. I just started crocheting for extra money. I love all your patterns.
March 28, 2013 at 8:46 pm
Thank you so much for asking, but, I’m afraid I couldn’t approve this request.
April 8, 2013 at 4:01 am
Hi Carol,
I have found one of your patterns that I have absolutely fallen in love with and would like to make for my daughter’s wedding. The pattern is pictured here:
I followed the suggested link but it links to a revised pattern that doesn’t have the risen up flowers or fill in motifs. Is there any way I can access the original pattern as pictured? I would be happy to purchase it. I am sure it would become an heirloom!
April 8, 2013 at 7:31 am
Thank you so much! I sent you an eamil with some additional info.
August 19, 2013 at 8:52 pm
My daughter absolutely loves all of your patterns. I looked on your site and couldn’t find any legal stuff regarding selling the finished products. I usually have people ask where my daughter got her stuff and then wants it. What is your policy about the selling of the finished product if I give you credit or link back to the pattern? Thanks so much!
August 20, 2013 at 7:23 am
Nikki:
Thank you so much for your kind words. I have absolutely no problem if you wish to sell the finished products. How kind of you to offer to link back!

Hello, Carol! I purchased your Newsboy Cap pattern and am having trouble with rounds 18 and 19. Round 18 has me doing 3 sc, then 2 sc in the next sc, and repeating that 9 times. I’m doing the medium size and had 42 sts before that. With the repeating pattern, I add ten sts, but round 19 ends with 44, according to the pattern. I need some help and clarification.

I am having a blast making the Penelope visits Piccadilly Circus outfit. I have 2 great-nieces with AG dolls. Just having a slight problem with the socks. If I’m having difficulty getting the socks on the doll, how are my 4 & 7 year old nieces going to get them on?
Any suggestions?
January 24, 2014 at 8:59 am
I’m sorry that you’re having a problem. You might try moving up to a larger hook to make them a bit larger.
January 24, 2014 at 11:00 am
Yes, I’ll have to try a larger hook. It’s getting it on over the heel. I am loving your patterns! Easy to follow.
January 24, 2014 at 2:15 pm
Thank you so much!
February 16, 2014 at 1:45 pm
Hi! Working on Anastasia’s Ready for Spring outfit. My two nieces have 3 18″ dolls. One is actually an American Girl. The other two measure across the chest/waist about 1/2″ bigger. What would you suggest to have this outfit fit the other dolls? Use a larger hook?
Love your patterns!!
Thanks!
February 16, 2014 at 7:06 pm
If you finish the one for the AG doll first, you may want to tru it on the other doll……you may only have to move the buttons over a bit if there’s only a 1/2″ difference. If you find it’s too snug…..you could move up to a size 0 steel hook or a size D hook.
February 18, 2014 at 12:48 pm
Carol,
I purchased your Bella & Bridget’s Bath & Bedtime Set pattern but now find Bernat Baby Boucle discontinued. What would you
recommend as a substitute?
February 18, 2014 at 6:54 pm
All set…..if you need any other assistance, just give me a shout.

May 15, 2014 at 7:16 am
Just found your site and thought I would try the AG Sun Dress set. The dress ended up too short at the top to cover her chest so I added a “bib” and straps that go around her neck and fastened it with a snap (like a halter top). You also have the button holes at the end of row 1 and row 4. The button holes are then on opposite sides of the dress. The hat ended up being a little big (and I crochet fairly tight). Also, you don’t join rounds till row 11. You end up with a slit down the back of the hat that needs to be so sewn together. Why not join all rounds and just turn your work at the end of each row? I didn’t attempt the shoes. I have a pattern for a pair of sandIes which I used instead. Didn’t need the aggravation.

Hi Bonnie: The dress was designed more like a high wasisted skirt to be worn with a tshirt. The bib is a good idea. The button holes were intentional….because they are just loops, I wanted the buttons at opposite sides….just as a design element….to give it a criss-cross look, but it doesn’t matter if you put the ch-5 on row 3 to keep the buttons on the same side. The hat is worked in the round…..do not join…..do not turn…..mark beginning sc…..this was to eliminate the joining “seam” that is created when you join. When you get to the end of rnd. 1…..start rnd. 2 right in the first stitch of rnd 1….move your marker to the first stitch of rnd 2…..this helps to show where the next rnd starts. Working in the rnd like this also keeps the stitches smaller and tighter instead of joining and turning.

I am trying to make your western chaps for 9 to 12 months of age. I like the one with the belt. I have bought the pattern for the one with the diaper cover. I don’t really want that one. Do you have directions to make the other one for that size? I have actually sold this set. Please help me if you can. Need to get this done asap. It is paid for already. Thanks, Sondra

Carol,Have purchased pattern for Christmas Scottie Tree Skirt. Know that in Australia some stitches are called different names.Having trouble with 1st row!!!Would have thought after 1stchain and forming a ring next would have gone into the ring but with ch25 etc am not sure where this is taking me. Any ideas please. Judy
August 6, 2015 at 7:11 am
Hi Judy:
The pattern is actually worked in rows…..not joined…..the first ch10 that is joined forms a button loop…….then, ch 25 and work your first row of sc in that “starting” ch.

I’m a first timer viewer to your blog site. I hope you are back up running your blog in the near future. I just downloaded your ‘Top Down Sock’ pattern from The ‘love crochet’ website. I first taught myself how to crochet about 50 years ago, but I’ve never tried crocheting socks till now. Thank you for your pattern. I’ll be looking forward to your future posts.

Hi there,
I found your “Peek a Boo Shawl” pattern on https://www.lovecrochet.com/peek-a-boo-shawl-crochet-pattern-by-cobblers-cabin and like the way it looks a lot. However, I was wondering about how to start with it.
“Directions:
Rnd. 1: ch 3, 4 dc, ch 2, 5 dc in 3rd ch from hook, ch 3, turn. 10 dc”
I’m not sure how to read this first round properly without an initial chain to work the dc into. Could you please help me out there?
Many thanks,
Rinka
July 31, 2018 at 6:46 am
Hi Rinka:
After you ch3, then the following stitches are worked in the 3rd ch from the hook….(work 4dc, ch2, 5dc in the 3rd ch from hook, then, ch3, turn. the stitch count when complete is 10 dc.

Hi Carol
I am working on a pair of ice skates for an 18 ” doll.
AG ICE SKATES
Having problems adding the tongue.
I don’t understand the instructions at all.
Just wondered if there is video for this pattern?
February 21, 2021 at 6:56 am
This is a Maggie’s Crochet exclusive.
February 21, 2021 at 6:59 am
I’m afraid I don’t have any videos. The tongue is worked the same as the sole and then connected to the upper half part of the shoe part. It can be crocheted on or sewn on, whichever is easier.

Hi. I’m loving having a go at your ‘Top down socks’ crochet pattern but wonder if it’s meant to be crocheted in the circular fashion? I’m s few rows down from the rib and working flat. I’m re-reading it and thinking I should have joined it soon after the rib (after the HDC row?). I was just confused as it says turn after each row … sorry if I’m being dense. Fairly new to crocheting ;). Keri
February 27, 2021 at 9:45 am
the ribbing is worked lat and the body of the sock is worked in the rnd, the heel is then worked flat and then you finish off in the rnd again. When finished, only the ribbing needs a seam.

(Hooked on Socks?)The pattern is written for 3 sizes…the first # is for the large size, the other 2 numbers in ( ) are for the number of stitches that you work for either medium or small.Carol
March 1, 2022 at 5:00 am
When a pattern is written in more than one size, the changes for the stitches needed are in ( ), for instance, if a pattern is written for Sm, with the changes for (Med and Lg), so if you are making LG, you would follow the stitch count as the last number in the ( )

Hi
I am really struggling with understanding row 73 of the Top Down Socks pattern. I have read all the comments and just don’t understand it. What do you mean by crochet over? Do you mean skip those stitches and chain? I’m just really confused. If you could help that would be great, thanks. Heidi
