This doll-sized introduction to gansey knitting includes all the features of a traditional Fisher Gansey: overlapped split welt (instead of ribbing), underarm gussets, perpendicular shoulder strap, and seamless construction.

The finished sweater fits American Girl dolls, teddy bears, large wine bottles, and more!

Traditional gansey yarn isn’t easily substituted, but a smoothly spun lighter worsted weight yarn, such as Cascade 220 Superwash, will work for this pattern.
