Okay, though I used to be a pattern writer, I have never done this publicly before and this sort of thing is quite different. I've found that people can interpret patterns in very different ways so please bear with me *nervous*
The important thing is to read all the instructions through before you begin.
BASIC TOP DOWN RAGLAN JUMPER.
My model is a Dollmore Kid - MSD. Chest = 18.5 cm and waist = 16.5cm.
If your doll is larger then go up a needle size or two. If you want to make this for an SD then add more stitches to start.
Okay, here we go >>>>
With size 2mm needles (UK14, US0) and any 4-ply or sock yarn, cast on 40 sts in your preferred method. I use thumb method (called long-tail in US).
(Google "cast on methods" if you want to find tutorials).
Work 3 rows in KI P1 rib. *
* If you want to make a buttonhole, work row 3 like this: K1P1 to last 3 sts, move yarn forward, (to front of work) K 2 together, P1.
Nxt row: Wrong side facing, P7, place marker, P7, place marker, P12, place marker, P7, place marker, P7. *
* If you have made the buttonhole purl the yarn forward stitch in the normal way, do not twist it as you need a hole to form.
Now, you will be increasing 1 stitch each side of the markers to create a raglan.
8 stitches will be increased on each knit row.
Row 1: *(K to 1 st before marker, increase by Kf&b into st. (knit front and back), slip marker, Kf&b into next st)*, rep from * - * 3 more times, K to end. (8 stitches increased).
Row 2: K1, purl to last st, K1 - slipping markers.
Repeat rows 1 & 2 until there are 96 sts. (14/21/26/21/14) *
*at the same time, make a buttonhole as before on row 11.
row 15: Increase sts for sleeves only: K14, slip marker, kf&b, K19, Kf&b. slip marker, K26, slip marker, kf&b, K19, kf&b, slip marker, K to end.
STOP!
