This is a pattern for a vest for an American Girl style doll. You need only basic knitting skills (cast on, knit, purl, bind off) and basic crocheting skills (single crochet, chain stitch) to complete this pattern. All bands are knit in, no need to pick up stitches. Uses one ball of a light worsted-weight yarn on #6 (4.25 mm) knitting needles.
