Coco sweater knitting pattern for Blythe dolls

I’ve designed a new knitting pattern for Blythe dolls, available in my Etsy store. The Coco Sweater is a fun short-sleeved sweater reminiscent of Pierrot the clown with its rolled ribbed collar and bobbles/pom poms down the front and also a little Coco Chanel with the contrasting trim.

The pattern is recommended for those with an intermediate level of knitting skills. The pattern uses bobbles and increases (M1L, M1R), though the bobbles can be replaced with store bought pom poms. It is knit in one piece from the top down and uses increases to shape. Under the sleeves are the only parts that need seaming.

Items made from the pattern can be sold.

Variation on a theme

I could say that I was experimenting with the daisy stitch pattern and came across this interesting variation of my A Handsomely Tweedy Hat pattern. But that would be lying. The truth is I forgot which row I was on and repeated myself. The results are good though.

For best results use a really Earthy, tweedy yarn. Otherwise, stick with the original design. Continue reading “Variation on a theme”

A Handsomely Tweedy Hat

I love Melbourne’s European influences and when I’m visiting I always try to get to Albert Park to enjoy a well made coffee and some cake. Albert Park is also home to The Avenue bookstore, where I can lose myself for hours, and The Wool Baa yarn store, where I disappear again for a few more hours. On a recent visit I was seduced by a few balls of Debbie Bliss’s Donegal Luxury Tweed Aran yarn. Continue reading “A Handsomely Tweedy Hat”
