Designed to fit the American Girl® and other 18” dolls, this versatile PDF knitting cardigan pattern comes with two sleeve variations. It is knit all in one piece, from the top down. There are NO side seams; in fact, the only seams needed are on the underarm of the raglan sleeves. It has a special “fast and easy” eyelet cable that does NOT require a cable needle. The sweater closes in front with buttons and has a Garter Stitch band at the hem. It can be made with or without the collar, which is worked in a seed stitch. The cable makes a wonderful detail all on it’s own or you can embellish it with embroidery and bead-work for a three dimensional effect.
The Eyelet Cable Cardigan knitting pattern from Crabapples is available in 3 fantastic sizes: 18" dolls such as American Girl®, 14.5" dolls such as WellieWishers™ and 16" A Girl For All Time® dolls.
