This is a top and skirt set for a 8” X 5” doll. The skirt is very easy and takes about 1-2 hours to do (depending on interruptions). The top is a little more difficult, but still easily knitted within 2 hours. It is a great way to use up your stash yarn.

Note: The yarn I used was from my stash and so the amount of yarn indicated to knit this project is only an estimate.
