A split screen image of the Pinterest inspiration, a knitted cardigan with granny square crocheted pockets on the left, and a 1/6 scale version modeled on a fashion doll on the right.

Drawing a line under my earlier bullshit, here's the finished, Pinterest inspired, bit of knit & crochet in 1/6 scale - accessorized with an able assist from DarcyHorn/BeadWork. 🧶

Image of a tall Barbie doll wearing a silver tank top and a pair of light brown hand knit trousers. I made a few adjustments to the pattern, in order to fit the Tall Babs, give them stovepipe legs, and a back closure. I used Delightfully Fine lace weight yarn in the colorway "Coffee Lover", held double, and knit on 2mm needles. The pattern can be found here: https://web.archive.org/web/20211224010505/http://stickatillbarbie.se/

The bullshit persists! My first pair of 1/6 scale knitted trousers! Next up, a 1/6 scale recreation of a cardigan I found on Pinterest. I'm surprising myself with how much fun this is to do. Deets in the alt text, as usual. 🧶
