This is a simplified version of the original Merry-go-round pattern, called the Merry Spring Vest for Lammily dolls. Its construction is just like that of the human sized garment. If you have the original pattern, you will recognize this as using the 2 stage circle option from the pattern. Shortrowing will product a donut shaped piece of knitting that eventually becomes the collar, peplum and lapels of the vest. This is a good first project to get comfortable with the design because of its small size.
For Standard gauge machines.

double bed machines includes Passaps, Superbas, Orions and the like that usually originally came with 2 beds attached. Most were made in Europe Machines that have attachable ribbers will work just as well. This includes old Knittax type machines that only have every other needle on the ribber. However it is essential that the machine be able to produce half fisherman’s rib.
