This doll shrug starts with 2 separate front sides that are joined together to finish the back. Because of its small size and all garter stitch construction, it’s a quick project. Feel free to adjust the size for different dolls. Model is CP/Fairyland’s 7.5” tall Realfee Pano.

Skills needed: cast on, slip, knit, kf&b and bind off in knit stitch.
Optional: single crochet around neck and sleeve edges with contrasting thread

Gauge is important in this pattern. Knit a swatch to check gauge and appearance.

20 yards of Valdani 3-ply floss (color: O 154) will make a doll shrug at gauge.
1 29-yard ball of Valdani floss will make 1 doll shrug.
Optional: 10 yards of Rainbow Gallery’s Wisper embroidery thread (color: W68) for neck and sleeve edges. Wisper comes in 20-yard card bobbins.
