Chordata Cardigans & Beanies 18" Doll Clothes Knitting Pattern

3 reviews   |  

Two different cardigans with a matching beanie. The pattern is named "Chordata" as the unique easy crocodile stitch looks like scales.

Knit a cardigan using a continuous pattern stitch or knit one with four rows stockinette stitch in between the pattern rows. There are 2 options for the cardigans one with a short collar and the other with a 2 rows neckband in garter stitch. Both sets are knit flat from the hem upwards with a front buttoned closure. The sleeves knit separately and are joined at the bodice.

Stitches used: knit, purl, YO, skp, kf&b, passyo and knit 2 together.
