I'm so happy to be able to share this new pattern with you! I just finished editing the pattern one last time. It took a few prototypes to get the shaping right. (So Penelope now has 3 different versions of the same sweater... small, medium and large! ha ha.)
It has buttonholes that really work:
The collar can also be worn up for a different look:
If you are just beginning to learn crochet, please don't go away! I have written this pattern with step-by-step instructions so that you can try it, too. For you speedy crocheters, I'm sure you'll be able to skim through a lot of this pattern. Please excuse my lengthy explanations.
When learning a new pattern, I find it useful to crochet as I am reading the instructions on the computer screen. This way, if I forget a certain stitch, I can quickly mouse over to some other web site tutorial for quick help.
Oh! One more thing... you are cordially invited to stop by the flickr group, Threaddough Café. There, you can post a photo of your new sweater. Please don't be shy...see you there!
Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog. I do hope you like the pattern! :o)

Hi jean!
Thank so much for your lovely comment! Isn't Greta just the loveliest person? She takes wonderful photos, too. Thanks for visiting me! :o)
I found your blog while doing a search for crochet patterns for blythe. This little sweater looks lovely. I am going to give it a try -- but it may take me awhile as I am on the beginner level of crochet. I am waiting for my first blythe doll to arrive and maybe I will have this finished before she gets here. :-)
