This is a complex project, but the finished product is a detailed sweater with a front trellis bordered by cables. A special feature of the pattern in the way it perfectly hugs Ellowyne’s curves.

This knitting pattern can help you create a detailed aran sweater, like the ones pictured here. This fisherman-style Aran turtleneck is modeled after beautiful heirloom sweaters originally knitted in the islands of the same name close to Ireland.

The sweater may fit a variety of 17 inch fashion dolls, but is specifically fitted to the small busted dolls like Ellowyne Wilde & Tonner’s Cami dolls. The sweater is completely open in the back for ease of dressing. The body is knit in one piece and separated at the arm holes. It has set-in sleeves, and the collar is picked up and knitted after the shoulders have been sewn together.
