This is a PDF pattern for a Scandinavian-style sweater and tam to fit an 18 inch doll similar to American Girl dolls. The sweater can be worn as a cardigan with the buttons down the front or as a pullover with the buttons down the back. Body and sleeves are knit separately to the underarm then joined for the yoke. The sleeves are knit in the round. The body and stranded fair isle yoke are knit flat back and forth with both knit and purl rows. At the yoke, the button band and buttonhole band are knit from yarn on bobbins using an intarsia method. The cuffs and hem of the sweater are knit in 2-color corrugated rib. The pattern PDF is 7 pages and includes written instructions and charts for the stranded colorwork. This pattern is designed by me and was tested by 5 other knitters. This purchase is for a PDF KNITTING PATTERN, not the doll or clothing pictured.

SKILL: Intermediate. This pattern includes basic knitting techniques as well as the following additional techniques:

Fair isle/stranded knitting both flat back and forth and in the round on circular needles or double pointed needles. I used the magic loop technique.
Making 1 stitch M1 by lifting the bar of yarn between 2 stitches to create a new stitch.
Following a color and knitting symbols chart.
Making buttonholes with yarn over and knit 2 together.
Using intarsia method for button band and buttonhole band.
Grafting underarm seams using Kitchener stitch or preferred method of joining live stitches.
Decreasing using a centered double decrease for the tam.

MATERIALS:
Needles: 2 US/2.5 mm and 3 US/3 mm needles either double point or circular. If you are using magic loop, you will need at least a 40”/100 cm cable.
Yarn: light worsted. Use any yarn that will give you a gauge of 24 stitches and 32 rows per 4”/10 cm in stockinette stitch with 3 US/3 mm needles.
I used the following yarn amounts for the hat and sweater in the photo, but you may need more or less:
Garnstudio Drops Extra Fine Merino
MC: Light beige 134 yards/123 meters
CC1: Dark rose 38 yards/35 meters
CC2: Off white 38 yards/35 meters
