The Dublin Spring Cardigan, by AGGIE and friends, is a versatile, top-down, raglan sleeve sweater cardigan that can be knitted to different lengths. Knit to mid-torso with an elbow-length sleeve for a bed jacket, waist length to dress up dolly’s jeans and t-shirt, thigh length for a dress cover-up, or knee length to wear with leggings. Keep going for a midi- or maxi-duster! Your imagination (and yarn yardage) are your only limitations! DK weight yarn is dolly proportionate to bulky yarn on a person.
Photo tutorials show step-by-step instructions for the sleeve stitches, the decorative bumpy bind-off at sleeves and hem, and my method for seaming the sleeves without extra bulk at the underarm or wrist. Also included is a photo tutorial of my method for closing those pesky holes that often manage to appear at underarms.
This PDF knitting pattern is designed to fit most 18 inch dolls.
