“Ag Tús” is an easy doll cardigan knitting pattern for beginners. It fits all popular 18-inch dolls and can even be adapted for tiny versions to use as a Christmas garland. The construction is simple: knit from the bottom up, add sleeves, and finish with the neckband. This is an easy, low-stakes project that makes a great gift for any doll lover. It’s also the perfect way to practice sweater construction before casting on your first full-sized sweater. Whether you want to delight a child, stock a craft fair stall, or test your skills on a tiny project, why not give it a go?

Ag Tús is Irish for ‘starting’ or ‘begining’ and this is a great pattern for making a start on knitting garments. This pattern was originally published as part of a summit presentation on how to knit sweaters, with 3 other doll patterns. A raglan, a dolman and a set in sleeve. All patterns coming here to the blog soon.

The pattern is formatted for accessability. An ebook will be published when all 4 patterns are on tge blog, which will include large print format.
