This tunic sweater is a miniaturization of a full-sized human project I saw on Ravelry.com. If you’re interested in making a cute sweater like this for yourself, you can find the pattern by searching for “Roam Tunic” by Amy Christoffers.

This design looks great paired with some leggings or slim-fitting jeans. I’ve chosen to partially close the back seam and finish the sweater with a doll-sized zipper closure. You could also leave it completely open in the back and knit ribbing to close with snaps if you prefer.

The sweater may fit a variety of 16-17 inch dolls, but is specifically fitted to Robert Tonner’s Tyler, Ellowyne, and Antoinette. The body is knit in one piece and separated for the armholes. I picked up and knitted the turtleneck and ribbed sleeves. The kangaroo pocket is optional, but is fun for posing articulated dolls.
