These cute little cardigans are a version of my Teddy Bear sheep cardigan. The fit is for a 14” doll but could be adapted for smaller dolls by using 2 size smaller needles and 4ply yarn. The tan cardigan is in 4ply on a 12” doll

The pattern is knit in the old fashioned way - using straight needles in rows and with raglan sleeves. The body is knit in one piece to armholes. This makes the colourwork and motifs less fiddly to finish off.

you will need:
Sheep cardigan: 50g dk yarn in pink, 10g white, 5g dark blue, 5g pale blue, 4 small buttons
Duck cardigan: 50g dk navy, 5g white, 5g yellow, small amount orange, 4 small buttons

In the pattern I have used the above colours for clarity but the choice is yours
