Raglan sweater for dolls

The sweater is made from top to bottom. It can be used for any size, but is mainly aimed for dolls, the measuements are in mm. The instruction will not give you the coloured pattern.

The math behind the pattern: The neckline width gives the number of stitches to start with. The sleeve width at the armit D and the width E givs the number of stitches on each pin at the start. There is one raglan increase every second round, 4 times on each round. I have not added any extra stitches under the arm.

Knit a test piece, larger than 10 times 10 cm, with the knitting method, the yarn and the needles that you will use, to find out the gauge. If the yarn and needles are thin you can make one that is 5 times 5 cm. In this case you must multilply the number of rows and stiches with 2 before you enter the numbers.
