This sweater fits a CP/Fairyland Realpuki but it might fit other tiny BJDs (ball jointed dolls), too. Realpukis have a 2” chest circumference, a 1” shoulder-to-wrist length and removable hands that make the slim sleeves workable. This pattern is easy to alter: just add or subtract rows to the yoke and sleeves for a bigger or smaller sweater. The sweater is worked from the neck down in one piece. Stitches are divided at the armholes for the sleeves. Sleeves are knitted flat or can be knit in the round, if you prefer. The sleeve seams are the only seams in this sweater. After the sleeves are done, the sweater body is worked in one piece to the hem. The original sweater length is short but you can make the sweater any length. The front and neck borders are added last. Working the neckband last helps pull in the cast-on stitches that stretched during knitting.
Tiny knitting is slower than “regular” knitting, so take your time. A hands-free magnifier and good lighting are highly recommended for knitting at this scale.

Skills needed: e-wrap cast on, knit, purl, kf&b, SSK, picking up stitches from the side of knitting and
bind off in knit stitch.

Gauge is important in this pattern. Make a swatch to check gauge.
