Row 2: Purl, slipping markers NOTE: These two markers are placed to indicate that the stitch AFTER each marker is the slip stitch (for the crease in the pants). This will guide you as you knit each row, making the crease in the pants straight and even all the way to the bottom cuff. Repeat these two rows for 14 rows. READ CAREFULLY: Next Row: K22, marker (M), slip 1, K4, PLACE CENTER MARKER, K4, M, slip 1, K22. Knit across, increasing in the FIRST and LAST stitches, continue to slip 1 as indicated above - and increase BEFORE and AFTER the center marker. NOTE: You are increasing before and after the center marker to widen that area to accommodate the doll’s puffy cloth body. Next Row: Purl, slipping markers with no increase.

Next Row: Knit across 12 stitches (knit in back of each stitch for a smooth edge), then purl across 40 stitches (on the wrong side) for the body, and purl 8 stitches, end with Knit 4 = 64 sts on needle NOTE: You will work in stockinet stitch across the right sleeve, the body, and the left sleeve of the sweater. Keep 4 sleeve stitches on the cuff edge ON EVERY ROW in Knit 4 for a nice border edge on the sleeves. If you have difficulty remembering to knit these 4 stitches on every row, place a marker on each sleeve before you knit the 4 stitches. Then just knit the 4 sleeve cuff stitches, slip the marker, and continue across the row until you get to the marker, slip the marker, and knit the last 4 stitches. Continue in stockinet stitch for 19 rows. This will put you in the middle of the sleeves (at the shoulder area). Next Row: Knit 22, BIND OFF 20 stitches, Knit 22 = 44 sts. Next Row: Knit 4, Purl 18, CAST ON 20, Purl 18, Knit 4 = 64 sts... This will complete the sleeves. Next Row: Knit 22, KNIT IN BACK OF NEXT 20 STITCHES, Knit 22 Continue in stockinet stitch for 19 rows. This will complete the sleeves. Next Row: BIND OFF 12 sleeve stitches, Knit 40, BIND OFF 12 sleeve stitches. Continue in stockinet stitch on these 40 stitches for the body of the sweater for 12 rows. Garter stitch for 8 rows. Bind off in knit. Sew side seams from hemline up and out to the end of the sleeve in an “L” shape. Optional: After binding off and before sewing the two side seams, you can go up to the neckline and using just a #6 needle, pick up 20 stitches from the front and 20 stitches from the back of the sweater = 40 stitches on the needle. Attach yarn and knit in garter stitch to match the bottom border. Next Row: Knit across, decreasing by knitting 2 stitches together at 4 intervals = 36 stitches. Continue in garter stitch for 6 rows. Bind off in knit. Sew the two side seams. Turn down a small cuff at neck edge. vvvvvv" Mardi Gras" Boxy Sweater & Pants w/Crease One-piece Jumpsuit in self-striping “Crayon" colors with crease in pant legs
