Here's another sundress for Barbie. This is a version on my earlier sundress but I've jazzed it up a bit. I've also added a hairband - just make enough chains to fit round the doll's head then work a round of dc. The dress is a pull on, great for small hands, has a shaped bodice and worked in one piece from the top down. Make sure the bodice is a tight fit so it stays put, or you could make straps as in my other summer dress pattern. Please leave me a comment if you make this item - i value feedback. To fit: 12” Barbie or other fashion dolls Materials: approx 30g 4ply yarn main colour. 20g of contrast colour Crochet hook 3mm and 3.25mm hook (or size to match tension) Tension: (Gauge) 22sts x 25 rows to 4” over dc (check your tension and use suitable size hook) Abbreviations: Dc: double crochet (US single crochet), tr: treble crochet, (US double crochet), htr: half treble, ch: chain, slst: slip stitch.
