Free Doll Cover-Up Crochet Pattern
The American GIrl Doll Beach Cover-Up is a doll-scaled version of the Hawaii Beach Cover-Up pattern that I uploaded a few weeks ago. It is crocheted very similarly. The pattern is very easy to adjust for length and width depending on your preferences. For best results, consider combining with the AGD Two-Piece Swim Suit for a complete beach ensemble!
