The Ridge & Furrow Sweater and Hat is a fun and versatile knitted set that contrasts simple stockinette with decorative garter striping to create an ensemble with a truly unique look.
The sweater is worked from the top down using straight knitting and raglan increases to shape the yoke and shoulders. The sleeves are finished separately using circular knitting to create a truly seamless top. Button bands are added by picking up and knitting stitches along the sweater's unfinished edges to provide a full rear opening. The hat is worked in the round from the crown to the brim.
This pattern uses both a main color and a contrasting yarn to achieve its distinctive appearance. This makes the Ridge and Furrow Sweater and Hat set a great way to use up smaller quantities in your yarn stash. Go for a high contrast look or pair two shades of the same color to create a knit that coordinates perfectly with your doll's existing wardrobe. Knitters will have fun mixing and matching colors for a look that reflects their doll's individual style!
