My daughter (9 years) got a amigurumicat from me and a crochet-felted handbag. She loves both.

 

The amigurumi is "cool" but still a toy so she can have something to cuddle without looking childish (she is gets in the age she hides toys from her friends and blames her little sister for the spreaded dolls in her "cool" jungle room)

This 'duffle' purse is the best:

I've lost count of how many I've made for my friends and relatives' daughters and one for my own girl. I've used everything from Red Heart to Mainstays. I added flowers to the ends and the closure. I use Velcro rather than the button.

Everyone loves it. It's easy and works up fast.

you can do scrunchies book covers little purses or a shawl for a special girls night out. you could make a skirt if your work fast there is a lot of cute patterns out there for little girls I know my mom has made both my daughter's beautiful summer dresses

A shrug would be cool. My 13 year old grandaughter loves them and ponchos as well. Are ponchos still in fashion? Probably only if it is very light weight though.

What about earrings, necklaces, bracelets and such?

Fancy headbands to push hair back out of her face?

Shrugs for tank tops?

Crocheted belts to go with her clothes?

Hair clip like this one?
