Pocket Cardigan for Middie Blythe By Tiki Doll Designs http://tikidoll.blogspot.com Adapted from a pattern by Jane Pierrepont Finished Size Fits Middie Blythe Materials Fine yarn 3mm needles Tension: 10 rows and 7 sts for 1” square Notes Increases: pick up the horizontal strand between the stitches on the right and left needles and knit into the back of the loop. Moss Stitch: an elongated version of seed stitch. Instead of alternating the pattern every row (as you do for seed stitch), for moss stitch, you work 2 rows of the same sequence of knits and purls before you alternate them. (definition from dummies.com) Directions Cast on 26 sts and work 4 rows moss stitch Row 5: K4, inc, K1, inc, K3, inc, K1, inc, K8, inc, K1, inc, K3, inc, K1, inc, K4.

Turn and work on the next 11 sts for the other sleeve as before. Rejoin yarn to the last 7 sts and knit to end. Body Purl 1 row Next row: *K2, Kfb next stitch. Repeat from * to last 3 stitches, K3 Starting with a purl row SS 5 rows Moss stitch for 6 rows and cast off in moss stitch Pocket Cast on 8 sts and work 6 rows in moss stitch. Cast off. Finishing Stitch sleeve/side seams together. Make a button loop: I did this by fastening a few simple crochet chain stitches in a loop on one side of neck edge. Attach button or pearl on other side, you can position the placement to adjust the neckline. Stitch pockets on the hem so they sit where your doll can put her hands in.
