“A Simple Boy's Vest” For A 4-Inch Child Doll, 1:12 Scale
My miniature doll patterns are inspired by and have been written originally for representing an aspect of my own life. I am creating a “Heritage House” which is a 1:12 scale doll house that depicts my life, my son’s childhood, and which will become a family heirloom for my son and his family to one day inherit.
My patterns do reflect our lives, in that they are very simple items of clothing. We live simply, without a lot of frills. I feel my patterns are easy enough for the beginning miniature knitter, although they are also of course appropriate for those with more experience with knitting in miniature. Basic knitting knowledge is expected, and awareness of the truly tiny size of these stitches is a must.
This pattern is called “A Simple Boy’s Vest”. This pattern is knit with size 0000 (4/0) (UK size 18) (1.25 mm) needles and fingering-weight wool. This vest is a nice addition to any child-sized doll’s wardrobe. It is shown on a Heidi Ott 4-inch boy doll, but knit in another color perhaps, may also be used on the same size girl doll. This pattern is for the vest only.
