A beautifully patterned jacket and matching hat to keep your doll warm when cold winds blow.
This is an intermediate level pattern. There are various tecniques used: you need knowledge of knitting in the round and working short rows as well as picking up and knitting stitches as well as basic knitting skills.
It has clearly written instructions and photos.
It has been testknit, but, as always please feel free to send me a pm if you have any difficulty understanding the instructions.
The jacket starts in the center back and is joined to knit in the round for the flower motive. The various sections are then knit outwards separately. Sleeves and fronts are knit flat and seamed. Stitches are picked up and knit for the button borders and collar.
The jacket back has a lovely curved hem.
While this pattern needs some concentration it gives a beautiful result. Well worth knitting, it is just that little bit different from the usual designs available.
Your doll will be proud to wear it!
