This is a free pattern for 2 – 4 year olds, that I sized up to a size 6, by casting on 143 stitches, working to 13 cm and 287 stitches before splitting for the sleeves, (approximately row 36), for a total length of 15 cm. I plan to sew snaps on instead of completing the buttonholes and to sew the buttons of over top of the snaps for decoration. I also made a matching American Girl Doll version.

The projects are on hold until spring  as I currently have a few too many Christmas projects on the go. To make the doll version, the modifications I made were:

Cast on 63 stitches,

R3: Knit 7, m1, pm, k3, pm, m1, k10, m1, pm, k3, ,pm, m1, k14, m1, pm, k3, pm, m1, k10, m1, pm, k7

Continue for 5 cm, Row 22, 151 st, separate for sleeves:

R23 k18, m1, slm, k3, slm, m1, k32 (right sleeve), m1, slm,k3, slm, m1, k36, m1, slm, k3, slm, m1, k32 (left sleeve), m1, slm, k3, slm, m1, k21.

Work 2 rows of lace pattern on sleeves, then 4 rows of garter stitch, BO.

On remaining 118 stitches, work 8 more rows in lace stitch (omitting increases), purl 1 row, knit 4 rows, BO.16870311018_ce7f821ef0_o
