This is a PDF pattern for a Scandinavian-style pullover sweater and ear-flap hat to fit an 18 inch doll similar to American Girl dolls. The sweater has a knit-in placket opening with buttonholes at the back of the neck. Body and sleeves are knit in the round separately to underarm then joined for the yoke. A placket opening using intarsia technique is created at the back, beginning at the start of the yoke and the stranded fair isle yoke is worked flat back and forth with both knit and purl rows. The cuffs and hem of the sweater are knit in 2-color corrugated rib. The pattern PDF is 13 pages and includes a photo tutorial on adding a knit-in placket and making ear-flap braids for the hat. This pattern is designed by me and was tested by 6 other knitters. This purchase is for a PDF KNITTING PATTERN, not the doll or clothing pictured.

SKILL: Experienced. This pattern includes basic knitting techniques as well as the following additional techniques:

• Fair isle/stranded knitting both flat back and forth and in the round on circular needles or double pointed needles. I used the magic loop technique.
• Making 1 stitch M1 by lifting the bar of yarn between 2 stitches to create a new stitch.
• Following a color and knitting symbols chart.
• Picking up stitches behind previously made stitches to create a placket
• Making buttonholes with yarn over and knit 2 together.
• Using intarsia method for placket opening
• Grafting underarm seams using Kitchener stitch or preferred method of joining live stitches.

MATERIALS:

• Needles: 2 US/2.5 mm and 3 US/3 mm needles either double point or circular. If you are using magic loop, you will need at least a 40”/100 cm cable.
• Yarn: light worsted. Use any yarn that will give you a gauge of 26 stitches and 32 rows per 4”/10 cm in stockinette stitch with 3 US/3 mm needles.
  I used the following yarn amounts for the hat and sweater in the photo, but you may need more or less: Bernat Softee Baby grey marl for the main color: 161 yards/147 metres Lion Brand Jeans-stovepipe for contrast 1: 42 yards/38 metres Loops and Threads Joy DK-ruby for contrast 2: 16 yards/15 metres
