    4. Oh, this is exciting! It's such a perfect looking little sweater. I just got me a size 2 set of needles, so I think I have to try this! I just wonder if it would fit my bulky 5Star tiny Clarence....Guess only one way to find out! :)
       
    5. Thank you for very goog pattern. Now I will know how create sweater for my small doll :D
       
    6. How did I miss this? thanks for sharing. It is so hard to find something like this. I guess most of the patterns are for the larger dolls.
      I know there are patterns for dresses and such, but things like hoodies are hard to come by. Thanks again. Good job.
       
    7. What a great pattern, I am definately going to give this a go.
       
    8. Adding this to my "to knit" list!!
       
    9. This is adorable. I can knit - but I can't follow patterns in abbreviations ... :( What is BO?
       
    10. BO means bind off, RS - right side, K - knit, P- purl, CO -cast on
      Hope this helps!
       
    11. beautiful work
       
    12. Thanks!
       
    13. The cuteness of this makes me want to scream with delight!!!! :D:D
       
    14. Thanks
       
    15. This look good :) For what doll size is it made? I´m newbie to knitting so I would rather start with something that doesn´t need adjustment :D I have 15cm PukiFee.
       
    16. As it states in the first post it is for a Tiny BJD
       
    17. Were all the ampersands etc in when this was originally posted?
       
    18. Can anyone help me to post a photo of finished this hoodie?
       
    19. I hope no one minds, but I took the original post and removed the unicode so it was easier to read. This is still the pattern originally posted, and I can hardly wait to pull out some of my laceweight yarn and knit one up! :)

    21. I'm making it now, so I'll upload a picture when it's done! Though my tiny is on the slim side, so I'm modifying the pattern as I go along to accommodate her tiny shoulders.

    22. Finished! I took some snaps to show off her new hoodie. (I know double-posting is discouraged, but I figured it's been a while and people who want to see the photo might be waiting for a notification.)

      I decreased the torso near the shoulders to fit her little shoulders, but the sleeves and hood are still quite large. It should fit a more standard Yo-SD sized doll really well, I think. The hardest part of the pattern for me was picking up the stitches for the hood... I'm no master knitter, but I feel like it stretched out the neckline too much. If I were doing it again, I would probably have picked up about 20-30 stitches around the neckline and increased in the first few few rows to get up to the recommended 44.

    23. Thank you for the photo! Fabulous!
       
    24. Thank you for posting this photo!! I've been looking for a knitting project for my BID and this might just be the ticket.
       
    25. Oh, another note: I would recommend using a stretchy cast-off on the ribbed edges, or else the sleeves especially may really struggle to fit over doll hands that are chunkier or have spread-out fingers.
       
    26. If a knitter can't do a stretchy cast-off, one trick is to leave the cuff seams unsewn for a little ways in the finished item.
      (But hooray for removable hands!):)
       
    27. Not really because Bind Off means nothing to me either - but looking around it appears it means Cast Off.
       
    28. You knit this beautifully! Thanks for sharing a picture!

    29. I love how this came out. Now I want to try it in a variegated yarn.
       
    30. I thought this was for a tiny - how tiny is the photographed doll?
       
    31. The pattern seems to be for a YoSD-sized doll. The doll shown in the oversized Hoodie seems to be a sugarble YoSD, the are a tad slimmer than Volks YoSD.
      The Hoodie might fit slim MSD like Fairyland MNF for that reason ... now I am curious XD
       
    32. Okay, thanks, I thought of l6cm as tiny.

    33. Although I bookmarked this thread I thought of tiny as 16cm, too, when I got the notification.
      I guess it's labeled "tiny" because DoA uses this word to describe a certain range of doll sizes (i spotted it in Dscussion and Marketplace area).
       
    34. Glad it's not just me being confused.
       
    35. I wish the BJD height and brand were stated at the top of each pattern.
      DoA's "tiny" does cover a HUGE range of dolls.

    36. That would be a great idea.
