Tunisian (Afghan) Stitch Sweater for 18" Doll - Crochet

Good morning,

Yesterday I received a set of interchangeable afghan hooks for my birthday from My Honey.  Of course, I came right home and had to try them out.  ;)

I designed and made this sweater for my 18" doll, Ginger.  The pattern is below if you would like to make one, too.

Thanks, Honey, for the new hooks!  I just love new toys for my needlework projects.
