Stupid Samantha
When I was little I wanted an American Girl Doll SO BAD! Samantha, the Victorian era doll, was my favorite, and part of what I liked so much about her was her amazing plaid cape, fuzzy white hat and matching muff. This love intensified when my elementary school frememy not only got Samantha for as a birthday present at her American Girl Doll themed birthday party, but also the matching fuzzy muff she could wear! It was torture!
20+ years later and I’ve finally gotten my revenge with this ridiculously awesome and way better than a fuzzy white muff Granny Square Muff pattern. Crocheted granny squares seamed together and assembled around a knit lining to keep your hands extra warm.
Eat your heart out, Samantha.

I must of blocked out your love of this American Girl doll. I probably got you something you could actually learn something from. Like fashion plates or a playdough factory. Love you!

If I only didn’t need my hands constantly free to attend to kiddos… I always wanted a muff when I was little too.
