Team Sweaters for the Snowbirds!

Almost couldn’t do this as it has been so long.  I thought for some time that I had been locked out due to my long disappearance.  But, anyway, I am here and want to add more pictures.

I knit matching ski sweaters for the 5 American Girl dolls that stay in my room.  The project got so boring I could hardly finish it and I was very fortunate to have enough Gray.   Knit in an Acrylic DK yarn with a slipstitch pattern, rather than stranding, as it is easier to get some color interest when not knitting in the round.  Each set was knit with Gray and White and a unique color.  They look like pullovers, but they actually button up the back for easy on-off.  The hats were knit in the round and the pompoms were made with two colors wrapped over a serving fork-they are fast and easy to make and just the right size for the dolls.
