Vest Sweater
I need a knit or crochet vest/sweater pattern for a stuffed animal 18 inches around 6 inches long?
I don't want it to have arms but it's ok if it's a sweater, I just won't make the arms. It can be knitting or crocheting i'm equal at both. Thanks!
The best suggestion I would make is do a search for 'knit pattern doll clothes' or 'knit pattern toys' (or substitute the word knit with crochet).
You should get hundreds of results, so just start going through them. We can't give you patterns as your question is too broad - what sort of yarn do you want, how long is the vest supposed to be etc.
If you know your knitting tension for different size yarns, you should be able to figure out how many stitches you would need to cast on to make the sweater and then go from there - doll's clothes etc don't take long to do.
However I would think that crochet would be easiest as you can easily check the width against your cast on chain and then proceed up using any variety of stitches across the rows until you get the length you need to the underarm, then just make straps across the shoulders and maybe a few extra rows across the back.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
