Matching Doll’s Cardigan

The body is worked in one piece from the lower edge to the underarms, at which point stitches are cast on for the sleeves. The fronts and back (including front and back sleeves) are then worked separately. A simple lace stitch finishes the sleeve cuffs. Because the sleeves on T-shaped sweaters tend to be short along the outer arm and bulky at the underarm, increases are worked between the underarms and shoulders to make them less so.

Note: Join new yarn in the stockinette portion of the sweater to avoid interrupting the lace edgings.
