Thank you very much to maggiejacks for alerting me to the omitted kfb at the beginning of round 7. Please ensure you download the 2022 version of the pattern which has this corrected.

A seamless pullover sweater in a small doll’s size, to suit a doll of approx. 30cm/11” height. This is an ideal beginner’s sweater pattern. No great commitment in terms of time or yardage!

Designed to be extra quick and super basic, the sweater is worked from top down. It includes a rolled neck, raglan shaping for yoke/sleeves, and seamless construction in the round, with either a ribbed or rolled hem. It can be worked on DPNs or using magic loop. Sleeves can be capped or long.

You can also size this up or down by using worsted (for a bigger size) or fingering (to go smaller) yarn, and changing your needles to achieve the fabric you want. As long as the neckhole fits over your doll’s head, you can also size up by continuing the raglan increases until you reach your doll’s shoulder width, and knitting the body longer. It’s a pattern than positively begs to be modified!

Needles: 3.75mm circular (at least 60cm/32”) for magic loop, or DPNs (or size needed to achieve gauge).

Yarn: approx. 50g or 80m/87yd of DK/8ply. The sweater actually takes anywhere from about 40m to 60m of yarn, depending on whether you make the long or short sleeve version. Use up scraps and make a striped version by changing colour every 3 rounds or so!

Notions: 1x stitch marker in one colour (BOR marker), 3x stitch markers in contrasting colour, waste yarn to hold sleeve stitches (for long sleeve version), tapestry needle.

Gauge: 22 st x 30 rows = 10cm/4” in stockinette in the round.

Approximate finished measurements:
Top of shoulder (next to neckline) to bottom hem: 15cm (6”)
Body side seam to side seam: 16cm (6 1/4”)
Sleeve circumference: 12cm (4 3/4”)
Neckhole circumference: 25cm (10”)
Sleeve and body length are obviously easily adjusted by you, but my prototype:
Body length from underarm to hem: 7.5cm (3”)
Sleeve length from underarm to cuff: 6cm (2 1/2”)
