Knitting Little Design has created this sweet little knitting pattern for you to knit an adorable three-piece ensemble for your special 18-inch doll to wear in any season.
Sweet Seasons is a knitting pattern for a tunic-length long-sleeved cardigan sweater and matching hat with bonus instructions for a knitted curly scarf to fit 18 inch dolls such as American Girl® dolls. The sweater has an A-line shape and a buttoned front opening. Using seamless, top down construction, the sweater is knit flat [back and forth] with both knit and purl rows. The sleeves are placed on scrap yarn in order to complete the body. The sleeve stitches are then transferred back to the needles and additional stitches are picked up from the underarm. The sleeves are knit in the round using either double pointed needles or magic loop technique on circular needles. The hat is knitted in the round from the brim to the top and finished off with an i-cord loop. The neckband, waistband, button bands and cuffs of the sweater and the hat band are knitted in a seed stitch pattern.
This pattern includes basic knitting techniques as well as the following additional techniques:
