Barbie fluffy jacket

I love the fluffy jackets that are so popular just now.  I found a small amount of cream fluffy yarn in my stash which was just right for this jacket.

Its a very easy pattern knit in garter stitch throughout (thats every row knit), with the sleeves knit first then the back and front in one piece.  The sleeves are joined in after the armhole shaping to knit the yoke.  There's only one small sleeve seam to sew.

The jacket will fit all barbie dolls.  My model is Curvy Fashionista Barbie
