BEGINNER LEVEL knitting pattern for AMERICAN GIRL 18” dol

Top / dress In a style of COCO CHANEL.

I have written this Easy Simple step-by-step, row-by-row, stitch – by- stitch pattern that anyone can follow. This pattern includes full color photo illustrations. In addition this pattern contains several “tricks of the trade” that I have included as an extra tool for the beginner to improve in the future. This is not just a pattern – it’s a lesson in knitting at your fingertips.

Now as for the sweater:
This is a top / dress done in a timeless style of classic design of Coco Chanel. This sweater is made without side seams.
The only seams are under arms in the sleeves and one in the back.

I used the most common worsted weight acrylic in this sweater.
You can change the colors and decorations for a different look of this classic bell shape. Needle size should be chosen based on the yarn and your knitting style.
