Note: this listing is a “Knit in the Round” pattern to be knit using double pointed needles.

This knitting pattern is for a basic Knitted Cowl Sweater with variation to add sleeves. Includes instructions for ALL of Barbie’s body types. The existing Body types are: Vintage, Silkstone, Athletic, Made-to-Move, and Classic. I will refer to all of the existing styles from now on as “Classic”. That’s because they vary only slightly, and one set of instructions will work for all “Classic” body styles. The new body styles recently added were, Petite, Tall, and Curvy.

This pattern Includes instructions for four different sizes in the following order: (Petite) (Classic) (Tall) (Curvy). This master pattern takes into account the “negative” ease required for each class of body type, body shape, and relative arm, and waist placement, so the fit is excellent when the gauge is adhered to (9 stitches and 13 rows per inch in stockinette).

It requires light fingering weight yarn or sock yarn and a set of US 1 (2.50mm) double pointed needles. For yarn, I used: Left-over self-striping sock yarn, and Knit Picks Palette.

It knits up quickly in “the round” so there’s no swatching, seaming or sewing. Knit it once, if it could be slightly bigger or smaller, knit it a second time using smaller or larger needles.

The sweater slides on from the legs up (wrap hands in plastic wrap and secure with tape to prevent tiny hands from snagging your hard work).

This is a row by row pattern, no charts.
