Thanks!

 

This  sweater pattern for 18" dolls, such as American Girl dolls, and Next Generation dolls can be found in 

"Knits for Girls and Dolls" 

For a roomier fit I used size 6 and size 9 straight needles.  

I worked fronts at the same time and both sleeves at the same time.

For the skirt I cast on 56 sts with size 4 needles and did 4 rows of K1P1

for the waistband. Change to size 5 needle.

Then I K1, increase 1 in the next stitch and about every fifth stitch across the row - about 11 times.

Knit for a few rows before doing another increase row. 

K1 and increasing 1 in every third stitch across row.

I continued knitting for about 5 inches in length. 

Sew up back seam.  I also crocheted a lace effect around the bottom edge.
