This little sweater is very similar to my Teddy ribbed jacket, same simple rib and the current trend of block colours. Made in 4ply it takes less than 20g of yarn, great for using up all those tiny amounts. The pink/blue and white sweater was made in oddments of Rico 4ply but unfortunately its now out of production (shows how long i had it stashed away). For the mustard/green and grey sweater I used Stylecraft life 4ply which has a great range of trendy colours.
The back and front is made in one piece with the sleeves picked up at the shoulders and a button fastening at the back for ease of fit. The back is slightly longer than the front but can be simply adjusted to any length you want. I have done short sleeves but can be made longer before starting the decreasing.
Will fit a standard Barbie doll but as the sweater is loose fitting would also fit the new Fashionista dolls.
