Pattern Description:

This design is a tribute to Bohus Knitting design that I love so very much.
The fairisle pattern on the yoke is a sortened and modified version of Blue Shimmer by Bohus.
The sweater is knitted flat, from the top down.
It can be worn either with opening on the front, or on the back, depending on how you want to style your doll.

The pattern gives color breakdown for the Blue Shimmer version, but you may assign other colors to the ones used in the pattern and get equally beautiful results ( see bordeaux version on the pics). Just follow the chart to decide when and which of your new colors to use.
