Raglan Hand Knit Sweater For Pidgin Doll

My Pidgin doll, Callie, is quickly amassing a bigger knit wardrobe than I have.  :)

I knit this raglan sweater for her on size 4 US DPNs, using Woolike Simli-Laine yarn in a burgundy color.  (This has become my "go to" yarn for knitting doll items, lately.  It has a bit of stretch, and the colors are perfect for fall.)

I used The Incredible, Custom-fit Raglan Sweater worksheet provided by Woolworks.org.  I was a bit nervous the cuffs and neckline wouldn't fit over fingers and neck by the time I was done, but the pattern definitely works! 

I did a very simple neckline on this one, knitting in stockinette stitch for ten rounds, and letting "stockinette curl" do its thing.  Next sweater I will try a ribbed neckline, and maybe short sleeves.

Of course, my lovely Callie is a custom made Pidgin doll from the very talented (and very nice!) Joshua David McKenney.  I still need to do a proper review, and hope to get to it this weekend.  I've had her nearly two weeks, and love her even more than I thought I would when I decided two years ago that the Pidgin doll was "the one".  :)
