Warm and Cozy
Knitted Doll Pattern

Even if you have not knitted in years, do not be afraid to tackle this project. It looks very complicated, but the only thing that is complicated is changing of colors. If the color changes in the instructions for this cardigan seem difficult to understand, look closely at the photograph in the book to see what the final result should be. This should help you visualize what you are knitting.

The center front bands are knitted at the same time the body of the sweater is knitted in a seed stitch pattern. When you have finished knitting the body and sleeves, the only finishing required besides weaving in loose ends will be setting in the sleeves and sewing the sleeve seams.

Circular knitting needles, size 3 and 1 are recommended. The knitted doll pattern uses baby or fingering weight yarn in three colors.

This knitted doll pattern would be so cute on antique and vintage dolls. In the past, articles of clothing that were hand knit were very popular and so classical. Actually no one really knows when people first began to knit. This craft has been practiced for thousands of years. Knitted socks have been found in Egyptian tombs that are believed to have been created somewhere in the 3rd and 6th Centuries AD. Hand knitting was very popular in Medieval Europe and people were quite skilled in knitting by the 16th Century.

Of course, hand knitting in the United States has been a popular pastime with women for years. Especially before TV was invented, women would spend their free-time and evening-time doing needle-work and knitting projects and creating beautiful and practical garments for their families. Making this Warm and Cozy outfit for your antique or vintage doll would be perfect!
