Knit your own mini striped sweater! This top-down sweater is seamless and knit in the round, making it a quick and enjoyable project. The sweater is designed to fit my stuffed animal patterns, but would also work well for similar sized dolls. The sweater measures approximately 2.75 in/ 7 cm in length and is made with worsted weight yarn.

Note: The pattern is for the sweater only, the patterns for the stuffed animals it is modeled on are NOT included.
