I spotted this pattern on the travel doll thread in the Fiona McDonald Fans group. I had the idea that it might fit Althea if I used smaller yarn and needles, so of course I cast on immediately with the yarn that was sitting on my desk. It doesn’t have an opening at the neck, so it was a pain to get on, but isn’t it cute? I’m tickled at how well it fits. I did make a couple of increases at the waist because she is curvier than the travel dolls.
Instead of knitting 10 rounds I did the following:
Knit 4 rounds then
Kfb, k9, kfm, k9
Knit
Kfb, k10, kfm, k10
knit 3 rounds
and return to pattern

I got up this morning and knitted a blue tee for Sari. It was even harder to get on her. I don’t know if it’s because her arms are thicker or because I hadn’t tried it on several times while I was knitting it.
It took just under an hour to knit.

I knitted another tee last night after family left, a pink one this time.

I wound up deciding that these tees were too hard to put on the dolls. I wrote a free pattern with the addition of a placket to make it easier to put them on.
