Before attempting this pattern knitters should be comfortable knitting extensive ribbing at a fine gauge. This design uses some intermediate skills, but should be achievable by those who can carefully follow a pattern and are comfortable recognizing knit and purl stitches by sight.

Techniques such as applied edgings, shaping in ribbing, short rows, picking up stitches along an edge, casting on at the end of a row, 3 needle bind off, and cabling are used. For your efforts you’ll be rewarded with a beautiful doll sweater boasting a spectacular fit that you can be proud of!
