Last week I gave you the turtleneck pattern and tutorial. Today I’m making the whole thing accessible, including the jeans patterns and the turtleneck pattern too, along with links to the tutorial videos, of course.

If you want to make a turtleneck sweater for your Ken or similar sized doll or action figure, you’ll need some size 3/0 snaps and some jersey fabric.
For the jeans, I recommend using a lightweight cotton fabric that looks like denim, rather than using thicker denim (from cutting up your old jeans). You’ll also need some 1/8 inch wide elastic for the waistband.
I also mentioned using chopsticks in my tutorial videos, and if you happen to need a pair, you can buy some like mine right here.
Want to see my “Life Balance To-Do List” which is mentioned at the end of the turtleneck video? This link will take you to my Etsy store, where you can see exactly what I have for sale at this time.
