The Chantelle Round Yoke Cardigan, by Genniewren Designs, is the perfect versatile cardigan for your 18” dolls. The cardigan can even be worn with the buttons at the back to look like a sweater!
It features a pretty round yoke with a chevron lace pattern, garter stitch borders, an optional lace or textured pattern for the hem edge, and a choice of three different sleeve styles.
The Chantelle Cardigan is knitted from the top down. The round yoke cleverly uses the increased stitch count to create lace chevrons. From the yoke onwards, the pattern is worked in one piece until you get to the sleeves. From a construction perspective, this cardigan has less sewing to do than a more traditionally knitted sweater, as only the sleeves are seamed.
The pattern has a choice of three sleeve types: long straight sleeves, short straight sleeves and short puffed sleeves. All the sleeve options have a garter stitch band at the lower edge.
The options for the sleeves and hem edge patterns can be mixed, so you are sure to love the versatility of this pattern and use it again and again to create a variety of sweaters and cardigans for your favorite 18” doll.
