Scrap down- Toy sweater

I am still working away on my campaign to use up the unloved and neglected part balls that litter my stash.

This week's effort is part of a bigger project that I will probably share on Friday, it is a doll sweater, made following Pull-Over for 16in Waldorf Dolls by Jennifer Constant, using some leftovers of Lion brand Wool ease in a dark green and 4.5mm needles.

The first run through I followed the pattern as stated to work the body, it came out way too big so after a big of huffing and puffing and scowling at it I ripped it back. I am a little vague about where I went back to- I ended up with 64 sts around the body after casting on for the underarms. The sleeves have slightly different stitch counts, I think I missed picking up a YO increase when I was ripping it back. They do not look quite as different in real life as in this photo, plus it is for a toy so there is no way I am making it a third time!

What pleases me even more about this project is this time last year I was making almost exactly the same sweater, in the same yarn, only in full grown man sized. Only this time it took a couple of hours rather than four solid weeks!
