Matilda was inspired by the color palette on a vintage French postcard, the reverse stockinette stitch stripes are reminiscent of ticking fabric often used in early to mid 1900’s textiles and decor. Cardigan is knit from the top-down and features fitted raglan sleeves with bloused cuffs and hook & eye closures at front.

Designed to fit the American Girl, or similar 18” dolls with an 11” chest circumference.

The difficulty level of this pattern is: Easy - uses basic stitches, simple color changes, and simple shaping and finishing.
