It is sitting next to a dollar bill, which is, as we knitters know, a good substitute for a tape measure, since it is six inches long. Which means that this sweater is TINY!
Did I make a gauge swatch? Good doG, no. I NEVER make gauge swatches. Sometimes, if I remember, I count the rows and stitches in the actual garment soon after beginning a project, just to make sure I'm on gauge, which I always assume that I am. But did I do that here???
Nope.
So I just did. The correct gauge is: 18 stitches/24 rows = 4".
My gauge is: 24 stitches/32 rows = 4".
OK then. A frogging we will go...unless Elizabeth needs a worsted weight merino sweater in the heat of a Texas summer. I'm guessing she doesn't.

Oh NO! And even if she needed a sweater in summer in Texas, it would still be too small.
Some doll might need a sweater - plastic is so chilly, you know.
