What to do with two skeins of yarn leftover from Rosa's Magnolia Mini sweater? Make a sweater for Rosa's Samantha doll, of course! I scanned my Ravelry favorites and settled on Dolly Spring Butterfly by Rachel Evans.
I made this simple pattern even simpler by omitting all of the back details. I decided I wasn't keen on the butterfly motif, so I pretty much winged it once I made it past the armholes. Of course, I managed to forget to slip the first stitch of every row more than once, which resulted in more frogging than such a small project justified!
I do love the picot edging on the hem:
And here's Samantha herself to model it:
Rosa's joy over a new doll sweater has certainly motivated me to turn more of my yarn scraps into tiny garments for her dolls -- less yarn in the stash, quick projects for me, and lots of delight for her!
