Lesson 1 –

Gather

It is a good idea to gather all of your tools & materials together before you begin.

Keep them all in a nice knitting bag that you can grab whenever you have a moment to knit!

Lesson 2 –

Knitting a Gauge Swatch

 

The first step in any successful knitting project is taking the time to knit a gauge swatch.

It will take you only a few minutes but could save you hours!

WATCH this video to learn more…

 

Lesson 3 –

Upper Body

 

Now that you’ve got your gauge figured out, it’s time to Cast ON!

Before you do, WATCH this video, it will show you how to make the PAIRED Increases that
you’ll need for your DOLL Coat.

Upper Body

 

In this section, you’ll cast on, place markers & begin to knit in the stocking stitch.

You’ll continue until you reach the point where the sleeves will be divided from the
body.  Stitches for the sleeves will be left on stitch holders until you come back to them
later after finishing the body.

Lesson 4 –

Lower Body

 

At this point, you are ready to continue from the underarm point down to the
bottom hem of your coat.

If you slip the first stitch of each row, it will be
much easier to pick up stitches for the fronts & around the neckline later on.

You will increase several stitches across the last row
before the Seed Stitch hem, this will keep it from
rolling up.

Watch the Doll Coat Body Video for details & tips
before you begin.
