Knitting Knit - turtleneck for mini

This pattern takes U.S. size 2 needles (2.75 mm).

 

Arghh ... knitting pattern abbreviations ... I so wish for small patterns to be in English and not in abbreviations so that I can understand them. I realise this is a failing on my part but the above might as well be in Russian for all I can understand of most of it. For such small patterns isn't it possible to write it out without the abbreviations so that those of us less skilled might have a chance of knitting them?

 

In general, for knitting or crochet shorthand, if you just google "knitting [abbreviation]" (for example, "knitting psso"), you'll find explanations and tutorials. That's how I learned. But to get you started...

CO = cast on
K = knit
P = purl
WIP = work in pattern (but this is the one part I don't understand because I don't actually know what pattern they mean..)
BO = bind off
s = slip
psso = pass slipped stitch over
k2tog = knit two together

the parts labeled a/b are because where it says "slip the rest to holder" it means you split the panel in two by working on only half the stitches and then when it's done you pick up the other half with a new thread, so rows 44-48 diverge into an "a" part and a "b" part.

 

Thank you. I can knit, but I have trouble understanding directions. This helps.

 

Sorry to revive this, but does anyone have a finished picture?

 

A photo would be useful, I agree, of this long-sleeved, turtleneck pullover from 2007. As written, the finished turtleneck sweater would be pulled over a BJD's head, which I wouldn't attempt.

There is not enough information in this pattern to finish the sweater without a lot of guesswork. I wish the pattern had included the height and brand of mini BJD and the gauge (sts/inch). The instructions for working the turtleneck section are missing.
Still, I appreciate seraphim's sincere efforts to share a knitting pattern with the DoA community.

 

I can't find any pictures of the old one I made... I recently got some new extra-fine yarn, so maybe i'll try making another!

 

I would love to see it, when you finish it!

 

I just finished knitting this sweater !
It's not a turtleneck though, unless I misread the pattern ?

I used 2.5mm needles. The sleeves ended up with 16 stitches at the end instead of 14, so maybe I understood the pattern wrongly.
It fits well on slim MSDs. The sleeves were a little bit too long for my Melba (by La Compagnie des Radis), but that's because she has small shoulders.

 

@kulukala Your Melba has a cutest, little smirk to go with the extra-long sleeves! Great photo!

 

The sweater is really cute! Thank you for sharing a picture of it and your really cute girl!
