FYI: #11 link is not working. The correct address is: http://knits4kids.com/ru. This will take you to a register/login page. Apparently you have to subscribe (free) to use their site. It is also in Russian and Google Translate has a problem translating the subscribe page, but other pages on the sight seem fine.
Thank you for all the wonderful links!
Tamara Kelly says
Shoot, it's working for me - crazy internet! Thanks for adding the link Susan!

Micki b says
Do you have any easy crochet patterns for girls size 10-12. I cannot find any that are simple to make. Actually I can't find any
Tamara Kelly says
When my own girl hit that age, I started looking for adult Small or Extra Small. Depending on the size of the child, patterns without a lot of bust shaping can work really well for that age!
