    3. I'd love to give this a try, it looks perfect for my girl, but I don't understand the abbreviations :( (non-native speaker here) ... I'll do some research (and practise my knitting on easier projects :sweat ) and see what happens.

    4. Knittinghelp.com has a list of common abbreviations. You may still need to search around to figure out what the terms mean (I know - I've knit a couple of patterns from other languages before and it's tough) but at least then you know what you're trying to translate. :)

    8. I've admired this pattern on Rav for years. I now have an SD beauty on her way to me to make it for! I also have been spinning yarn for doll clothes for years and now have a pair of Angora rabbits to make this really special! Thank you for sharing the pattern and I look forward to sharing how it turns out!
