I recently knit a sweater for my Kit (she was complaining that she was cold, sitting near the fan all day!) and it turned out pretty well. I used this free pattern: yarnmiracle.gweezlebur.com/agcardigan.htmlI was a little disappointed with the way the neckband and front bands are attached to the bodice- it seems like the amount of stitches given to pick up was too small and it ended up stretched. Apart from this, though, it was a fairly quick and easy knit- I love knitting doll garments because they take 75% less time than adult garments, More info about the yarn/gauge/needles can be found on my Ravelry page (My username is Purples) for those of you who have a Ravelry account. I only have two pictures and they aren't particularly wonderful- but it shows the sweater: It still needs buttons. Comments are welcomed and appreciated!

I love it! The color goes beautifully with kit's eyes! I'm searching for a good sweater pattern, I might use that one. Do you recommend it, or should I continue looking for one?

I definitely recommend the pattern- it's a very easy and quick knit. I might modify it a little next time I make it, but it is fine as is!

Oh, purples, that sweater is darling! As puppyluv said, the sweater really compliments Kit's eyes.
