About

Hexagon Cardigan – a beautiful and easy-to-make garment for any doll. It adds a cozy touch and perfectly suits the mood of the colder seasons.

The cardigan is worked from a simple hexagon, which folds into an L-shaped piece to form half of the garment. The pattern is straightforward — you just keep adding layers, letting the hexagon grow round by round. You can also adjust the size easily, making it bigger or smaller depending on your design.

For the best drape, it’s recommended to use thinner or acrylic yarn, so the cardigan hangs softly and naturally.

This version is designed to fit dolls 30–35 cm tall.

Difficulty level: Easy

Measurements: Length: 7 cm; Circumference: 12 cm; Sleeve length: 7 cm.

For your convenience, the PDF version is available for purchase in my Etsy shop or directly here:
