American Girl Doll Nordic Winter Dress
This dress was loosely inspired by traditional Scandinavian styles. Long-sleeved, long-skirted dresses were traditionally popular. Often, they are decorated along the bottom of the skirt with embroidery and lace patterns. I chose to use Nordic / Fair Isle colorwork instead. Not quite as traditional for the dresses, but it does come from Scandinavia and is a much better fit for a knitting pattern!
I repeated the same motif for the hat, and worked a narrow band of Nordic-style colorwork around the yoke of the dress to offset the skirt.
