This is a simple but pretty sweater that can be made quickly. I added a the amount of rows that I did, I thought it might be helpful. Sorry if it's confusing in places, I'm still trying to master pattern writing. :)
Use size 10 crochet cotton and a 1.8 mm hook. (You could also use fingering weight yarn)
Ch 13
Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook, sc to end, ch 1, turn (12 sc)
Row 2: Sc in each sc, ch 1, turn
Repeat row 2 until piece measures 2 inches (which was 18 rows for me) don't turn on last row.
Start of sleeves, row 1: Ch 7, turn (12 sc, 8 ch)
Row 2: Sc in second ch from hook, sc to end, turn (19 sc)
Row 3: Sc2tog, sc to end, ch 1, turn (18 sc)
Row 4: Sc to end, ch1, turn
Row 5: Sc2tog, sc to end, ch 1, turn (17 sc)
Row 6: Sc to end, ch1, turn
Row 7: Sc2tog, sc to end, ch 1, turn (16 sc)
Row 8: Sc to end, ch1, turn
Row 9: Sc2tog, sc to end, ch 1, turn (15 sc)
Row 10: Sc in each sc, ch 1, turn
Repeat last row until sleeve measures 1 1/2 inches long. End last row on the sleeve side, not the part close to the neck. This might be a row shorter or longer than 1 1/2 inches (mine was 12 rows).
Repeat everything from ch 13 for the other side of the sweater front.
Connecting front and back, row 1: Sc 15, ch 4, sc 15 in other front piece so the sleeves are facing out, ch 1, turn
Row 2: Sc across, ch1, turn (34 sc)
Repeat last row until sleeve measures 2 inches long.
Back of sweater, row 1: Sl stitch 7, ch 1, sc 20, ch 1, turn
Row 2: Sc 20, ch 1, turn
Row 3: Sc to end, ch 1, turn
Repeat last row so you have the same amount of rows down as you have on the front (which was 18 rows for me), or 2 inches.
Sew sides flat, as shown in picture. If you do it this way, the doll will still look thin, and it will look neat.
You can so a few rows around the neck and around the sleeve for a finished look. You can also sew on tiny buttons or beads!
And that's it! I hope you like the pattern, and if there are any mistakes, please let me know.

I love this seems really easy I'm such a novice I immediately was lost at the chain 7 I don't know which way to go, and is this 4 pieces put together or 2? I love this site thank you
ReplyDeleteHello! Thank you for taking the time to try this pattern! It doesn't really matter which side you chain 7, because both pieces (the left and right fronts) will be made the same. This is started with two pieces, yes, but in the end it is just one since you attach them at the neck. You can see in the pictures. I hope it helps!
DeleteThank tour! I love making Barbie items 💖
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your patterns. Ive crochet for years but have never made doll clothes. I'm a grandma now so here I am. I made bought your of patterns. They came out pretty good. The only thing that made it sort of confusing was that instead of numbering your rows you just have next row. I know you said you hadn't mastered writing so just thought i'd help you out a little. Other than that were instructions were very easy to follow. I liked that you added the amount at the ens, That is very helpful. Most don't have that. Again thank you. My granddaughter thanks you too.
ReplyDeletei made both of your patterns is what my message should read not i made bought your of pattern. Not sure how that happen....lol
DeleteThank you very much for your feedback; that's a good idea to have all the rows numbered. I'll change that now! I'm glad you like the patterns and found them useful. Cheers!

ReplyDeleteHi, thank you very much for sharing your pattern. I like how it looks and it seems pretty simple to do. The only thing I got little confused at first was “part2” “part 3” and straight direction what to do without saying what is it and what’s for, so I was guessing which way to go and which part of the jacket it was. Well after I re-read it few times I got it all. So if you’d like you can add some more little details naming parts of the jacket next to part 2 and part 3. Other than that everything was pretty clear and easy to follow, and I’m only a beginner. Thanks again!
Hi Mari, thanks very much for your comment! After not reading my pattern for a long time, I see that you're totally right about a lack of clarity with the different parts. I've updated it now to say what the different changes are for. Thanks for helping me improve the pattern! I hope your crocheting is going well. - Hannah :)
