Knit Hat and Scarf for 18 Inch Dolls

Knit Hat and Scarf for 18 Inch Dolls
During cold Winter months it's nice to have warm clothes for yourself and your doll! Here is a pattern that I made for my doll in a few hours with yarn left over from a knitted blanket. It's a great project for a cold afternoon and the best part is you can finish both pieces in an afternoon.

The hat is made using 2 strands of worsted weight yarn. I used 2 shades of green for mine. The scarf is made using only 1 strand, so it is only 1 color, but I used the lighter color to make the fringe on the ends. If you make the scarf with 2 strands it will be too bulky to wrap around your doll's neck.

Materials
size 13 (9mm) knitting needles
worsted weight yarn in 2 coordinating colors, less than 3 ounces of yarn is required so use up your left over yarn.
A piece of cardboard 6 inches long.
Small crochet hook (size F is a good choice).

Hat
Cast on 36 stitches (with 2 strands, throughout). Work in K1, P1 ribbing for about one inch or about 5 rows.
Row 6 - Knit across (right side).
Row 7 - Purl across.
Row 8 - [Knit 2 together, Knit next 5 stitches], repeat between [ and ] to end of row.
Row 9 - And all odd number rows, purl across.
Row 10 - [Knit 2 together, knit next 4 stitches], repeat between [ and ] to end of row.

Row 16 - [Knit 2 together, knit 1 stitch], repeat between [ and ] to end of row.
Row 18 - [Knit 2 together], repeat to end of row.
Row 20 - Repeat row 18.
Row 21 - Bind off in pattern.
Stitch the side seam closed.

Scarf
With 1 strand of yarn and size 13 needles, cast on 4 stitches. Work in garter stitch (knit all rows) until scarf is the desired length. If you have used 2 different colors to make your hat use whichever color you did not use for the scarf, and wrap it around the 6 inch piece of cardboard 8 times. Slide the yarn off the cardboard and cut it at both ends, to make 16 strands of yarn, each about 6 inches long. Fold 2 strands of yarn in half and loop them over the crochet hook to pull the strands through one of the 4 stitches, at each end of the scarf,making a loop about 1/2 inch high. Then pull the ends of the strands through the loop and pull the loop tight to hold the strands of yarn in place. Repeat this with the other 7 stitches on the ends of the scarf, to make the fringe.

Thank-you to Susan Kramer for providing the beautiful doll that models the hat and scarf.
