It can yes be sweater time

Taffy, my half of the Dollzone 70 Recall twins, in a knitted sweater.
Done on size 2 needles, smaller than his fingers, with ribbing on the hem, cuffs, and neck.
This is more the true color of the yarn.

It's nice to see Taffy! And that sweater is lovely!
It's all about Hazel!

Thanks 
Alas there isn't much room for the twins right now but I hope to fix that.

Very nice! The fit is perfect. I can't knit other than making a scarf. I always admire those who can knit and who can make such tiny things that look awesome.
Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.

That sweater was worked flat like a scarf then the pieces "sewn" together with yarn. The next step after a scarf is to learn shaping with increases and decreases. I just learned short row decreases this year when I got the Wingspan pattern. Aside from a 2x2 ribbing the sweater is all stockinet stitch.

Dare to guess how small the needles are to make this WIP sweater?

Very nicely done, and I like the colors!!
As for the second sweater's needle size… I could probably guess if I knew the size of the doll…. Maybe a 0? Or 00? I once knit a kimono-inspired sweater dress for my girls, and it had some cable knitting on it. I think I used size 3/0 for most of the dress, but the cable trim had to be tiny, so I used a 6/0. It was…. painful. But it looks good! ^-^

Ding! Ding! Ding! I'm using size 0! About the size of his finger for those who don't know.
The yarn is from Michaels, I think it's their brand, it's a sock yarn and I picked up a few mottled skeins in earth tones. It's very soft and not that stiff when finished.
