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...

Thanks for all your hard work!
Great idea! Can't wait to see.
I am looking forard to seeing the buttons you pick.
I can hardly wait. Love ALL your ideas. Hmmmm...will there be one for MOM / Grandmas?
From what I can see, it looks lovely! I love green!
There will be a Mom/ grandma version of the Retro Cardi. I am getting the yarn today!
As the grandma of the mom of the granddaughter (granddaughter and I both have AG dolls to sleepOVER with)....I am so excited and thank you very much! Can they all use the same classic cotton so they matchy / matchy?
