This pattern is 100% inspired by the darling French Macaroon sweater that is offered for free on Ravelry from The Noble Thread. I love that pattern so much, and have made a few, that I even designed a baby hat, Tiny Tot, also available for free, to go along with it. When I first saw the sweater and hat on my infant grandson I knew I would have to make it into a doll sweater too. I love knitting for dolls! This sweater and hat will fit an 18” American Girl Doll or similar.

The pattern is free and simple to make. It’s knit in one piece in garter stitch and requires only a small amount of seaming.

The sample shown used approximately 70 yds. red and 70 yds. white for the sweater. An additional 70 yds. was used for the hat and another half dozen yds. white for the pompoms. The entire ensemble used one skein of each color.
