Project Description
I love a versatile pattern that can be used to make a lot of different designs. Your doll will enjoy having a variety of cardigans and turtleneck sweaters of her own!

This pattern includes instructions for creating either a collared cardigan or a turtleneck sweater. There are four different fair isle designs to choose from—Variegated Snowflakes, Solid Snowflakes, Hearts, and Glittertind (inspired by a Dale of Norway sweater). The sky’s the limit when it comes to your color choices.

The sweaters are worked from the neck down to cut down on finishing work at the end. Because all the fair isle is on the yoke, it’s easier to dress your dolls (less loose yarn in the sleeves to catch on fingers), and yet the complexity of the yoke designs still creates a beautiful finished product.

Materials

• Lightweight fingering yarn in one main color (1 skein) plus small amounts of 1-3 highlight colors. I suggest yarn from KnitPicks (www.knitpicks.com). The yarn I use for many projects is “Palette”, an inexpensive wool yarn available in a rainbow of colors. For a softer yarn in an identical weight, I often choose “Stroll”—which has a more limited range of colors available. A 50 gram ball of either Stroll or Palette has 231 yards, and the scale is 7-8 sts = 1” on #1 - 3 needles.
• Knitting needles sizes 0, 1 & 2 Good needles will make your job so much easier. I used Addi Turbo circular needles in the 24” length. I had two of them so I could leave stitches on one while I worked on the sleeves.
• 4 place markers—small plastic rings that will fit over needles. Very small rubber bands (for little girls) can work well.
• 5-6 sets of snaps for closure with needle & matching thread, with 4-5 mm buttons for decoration.

Gauge
Gauge—in stockinette stitch with size 1 needles, my gauge is 17-18 stitches and 23 rows in a 2 x 2 inch square (5.1 cm).
