I basically kept it really close to the doll sweater, with the 2 lace panels on each side of the folded over button bands. I used the same technique as for the retro cardi for dolls, creating a clean sharp fold with slipped stitches.
I decided to make the sleeves a little shorter (way more practical for active little girls!)
I love how the lace pattern is showing up in the Cotton Classic.
I will pick buttons tomorrow. I have my eyes on some very retro, vintage looking clear green buttons... I am also looking forward to sewing the strawberry skirt!
I will work on the actual pattern, and sizing over the weekend. At least I hope so...
