This week I completed a 20" Waldorf inspired doll and have now begun the exciting process of creating her wardrobe! I began by knitting her a cardigan as i love making knitwear for my dolls. I hope you find the pattern below useful. It's my first attempt at writing a knitting pattern for others so please comment to let me know how you find it.
