This pattern is available from lovecrafts.com for £2.00.

Another pattern inspired by my granddaughters. I knit 3 of them chunky oversized cardigans last year so decided to make smaller versions for Barbie
The patchwork cardigan is made in panels using 4 colours, great for those bits of yarn in the stash. The pink cardigan uses 2 main colours with a scrap of contrast for the front band.
I’ve added in the pattern instructions for seamless versions using intarsia method and knitting in the round.

To make an outfit, the pattern includes wide leg trousers and a little ribbed top.

I’ve given estimates of the yarn needed but the total weight of the items are:
Patchwork cardi 20g dk, Pink cardi 22g dk, Pants 12g
dk and top 5g dk

The cardigans are oversize as per current fashions. The top will fit all Fashionista dolls, the pants have 2 sizes, Standard Barbie and Curvy barbie.
