This sweater is another fun project to knit. It is done on size 8 needles and uses a 16” circular needle for the most of the body. The sleeves are knit separately and then sewn onto the sweater, and the collar added at the end. You be pleased with the way this one knits up! This pattern features written directions for most of the sweater, and easy to follow charts for the color knitting parts.

It would be best if you have knitting experience before you try this pattern, although it is a very easy pattern to knit. It does need a bit of a comfort level with knitting and tension, so that when you add the second color yarn, you can concentrate on handling the yarn without worrying about the basic knitting skills. If you haven’t tried knitting with 2 colors, this is a great way to try it!

This sweater knits up in worsted weight yarn. Front and back are knitted as one piece, up to the armholes. Then back and forth to the neck. Shoulder seams are sewn. The sleeves are knit flat, and then seamed and sewn onto the finished sweater. Finally the seamless collar is knit onto the neck, with double pointed needles-(worked in the round).

Sweater will fit American Girl, Madame Alexander, Our Generation, Journey Girls, Fibercraft, Springfield, Lizzi,and other 18” dolls of a simiilar size and build.
