I made this little raglan sweater for my American Girl Doll using some beautiful Comfy Color Mist yarn I had leftover from a baby blanket I made this fall. (Yay for Stashbusting!)
The fun thing about this sweater is that I wrote the pattern myself! In fact, I wrote thousands of patterns just like it… sort of. 😉 What I mean is that I put my mad excel skillz to work and created a pattern generator to spit out an 18” doll raglan pattern using any yarn/needle combo you’d like – you just enter your gauge and it does the rest.
I’ll share the tool with y’all at some point — I’m still perfecting it. In the meantime, if anyone would like to do a little test knit with it, I’d love your feedback. Just pop a comment here and I’ll reach out to you. (You don’t have to own excel – I also created a google sheets version, which is a free program).
