I opened up a shop on etsy.com today. I've posted some sweaters for 11.5-inch dolls (I hope to post other types of items in the future). You can visit the shop here. These miniature sweaters were very fun to create. They are all designed and handknit by myself.
Most of the sweaters are knit using size 10 crochet thread and sock knitting needles. I like using the crochet thread because it is relatively inexpensive, comes in a wide array of colors, and is readily available from any store that sells craft supplies.
Here is a free pattern for a basic sweater, for those who would like to try making one yourself!
**UPDATE - 2015**
The miniature sweater knitting pattern has been revised.

A gift tag template for creating a Christmas ornament from this sweater can be found on my Templates and Patterns page.

Thanks you for sharing your pattern too.
Lindy, I loved seeing the sweater on your blog. Your alterations looked great. If it's coming out too small, I might try size 1 needles instead of 0. I have used both sizes. It might also be a little short because of a couple typos in my pattern (continue reading below).
I've noticed that there is a mistake in my pattern. (SO sorry!) Apparently, I have trouble adding! Steps 3 and 6 of the Body instructions should say "Work in st st for 33 rows," not 31. The front and back should each have a total of 40 rows (6 edging rib + 33 even stockinette stitch + 1 row for neck opening). The diagram is still correct.
