Free Doll Tunic Pattern

Using a general description of the top down process as a start, I spent some time this week compiling a free pattern to share with other knitters.

My first attempt was stalled one sleeve short of completion when the ball of yarn I was using would not cough up another matching colour section for the second sleeve.


The local yarn store I bought it from was completely out of this colourway of Mini Mochi yarn, so I resorted to public begging . . . . . well, not really, I simply asked on Ravelry's "sell or trade" stash page and a kind hearted Ravelry member has been good enough to send the needed yarn. When it arrives I'll be able to finish version #1.

I learned enough doing that one to make a few pattern revisions while I knit the second one in a different colourway. I'm really happy with the way it turned out and I have a third one nearly finished.

It really is a gorgeous little jumper-dress (as we'd call it in England). I've added the print-out of the pattern to the "Doll-knits" folder that lives in my knitting bag.

Thank you Teddy! Considering it was your run through of the technique that got me started that is very comforting praise indeed.
