This pattern assumes intermediate knowledge of reading patterns and raglan construction, as “how-to” is not included. Written in an unconventional manner that assumes you know what you are doing. Constructed flat in one piece from the top down. Gardenia is a basic sock yarn sweater for American Girl dolls, and other dolls of similar measurements. The long sleeve version is a loose fitting, comfy sweater with minimal shaping around neck. Sleeves and sides are straight with ribbing at the cuffs and hem. The short sleeve version is more challenging, with short-row shaping around the neckline, and a fitted waist. Both versions button up the back.
