Instructions

The type of yarn used makes a huge difference in the size of the sweater. I did need to knit the sleeves 20 inches rather than 1.5 inches to get them long enough.

Difficulty:

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Toy

For: Children

Style: Cute


Materials

various yarns

What was your inspiration?

I asked a neighbor if she had a pattern for a doll sweater and she sent me the link to this pattern. I made a wardrobe for each of our granddaughters for Christmas and wanted to knit sweaters for them too. I did not have enough yarn left to make the hats. They will have to come later.

What are you most proud of?

I love how the variegated sweaters turned out.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

A regular size yarn makes a sweater the right size. I tried sock yarn and baby yarn and the sweaters were too small.

This one would have taken me a whole year to do. I can knit and crochet, but simple things.
