Lottie Doll Sweater Dress Pattern (knit flat)
This dress is a modification of the free sweater ornament from Greens and Jeans. Her sweater was too large for the Lottie dolls (but may fit a Barbie- I haven't tested it) so I shrunk it a bit. I also added the skirt. It's still slightly too large, but looks pretty cute in person.
SUPPLIES
- size 3 needles
- superwash wool yarn
- buttons to close up the back
The piece is knit flat.
Cast on 22 stitches.
KEY
PM- place marker
K2tog- knit two together
YO- yarn over
K1FB- make 2 stitches by knitting into the front and back of the same stitch
