Nordic Windermere ~ A unisex winter sweater featuring faux fair isle colorwork that makes use of an easy to achieve slip stitched method for stunning snow-stopping results that will stand the test of time with classic raglan sleeves complete with warm weather beanie

Designed to fit: slim all vinyl dolls like the Kidz ‘n’ Cats series, also fits slim Gotz Kidz dolls too!

Pattern Clarification:
Faux Fair Isle is an easy slipped stitch pattern that gives a Fair Isle look, whereas traditional Fair Isle is the technique often used to describe colorwork knitting where stitches are knit alternately in various colors, with the unused colors stranded across the back of the work.

Pattern Features: The faux fair isle is achieved using the slip stitched method, thereby avoiding the use of traditional stranded colorwork, producing a similar stylish look for the slopes. Formatted with written line-by-line instructions given throughout, including back buttonhole placement. Features classic raglan sleeves and ribbed stitched mock turtle neckline

Construction: Both sweater and beanie cap worked flat: back and forth in rows. Sweater Pattern begins with working sleeves first from cuff to armholes that are later joined to main body, (worked from bottom in one piece to armholes) for raglan shaping then worked together in one piece to ribbed stitched mock turtle neckline, including back buttonhole placement. Sleeves seamed at completion. Beanie Cap worked in one piece from ribbed stitched brim to shaped crown, seamed at completion

Skill Level: Easy - Intermediate: Project uses a variety of stitches and minimal shaping and finishing
