Wrap your favorite 18” doll in cheerful color with Stripe It Rich, a classic and cozy knitting pattern. This pattern uses a simple two-color slip-stitch technique that alternates hues row by row, creating a pretty vertical stripe effect with a rich texture that looks intricate but is wonderfully easy to knit.
Best of all, the method is very user-friendly; the colors are carried neatly up the sides, so there are almost no ends to weave in. It’s satisfying for seasoned knitters and confident beginners alike—delivering striking results without fussy finishing.
The sweater features your choice of a hem edged in soft ribs or a sturdy garter stitch - both give a polished fit. It also features a classic crew-neck rib for that timeless hand-knit look. A row of five coordinating buttons fasten the front, set against a cheerful band of horizontal stripes in alternating colors for the perfect finishing touch, giving this cardigan a cheerful personality that feels both playful and timeless. A delightful addition to any doll’s wardrobe—great for everyday play or a special place in a collection.
