Notes

Changes:

The only planned change was to add some hair to the dolls, as I’d seen on previous versions here.

Unplanned, I did some changes to the sizing. I started off with size 32 but after the ribbing was done I realised it would be too big, so switched to 2.75 mm needles and added a couple more waist decreases (with less spacing between all decreases). About 2/3 into the body realised the bust was still going to be large so made my increases in order to match the number of stitches needed for size 30 instead of 32. Cast on sleeves for size 30 also, and knitted the rest of the sweater in this size.

The yarn is fabulous and really blooms after blocking. It was my first colorwork project and came out a bit tight in some places but after blocking seems to be much better :)
