This is the perfect outfit for your doll for the 4th of July, or whenever she is feeling patriotic (or you can crochet it in other colors, for other occasions).

The dress features a circular yoke, a back opening and a belt for fit. It is worked from the top down, side to side at first, then in rounds. The skirt features a traditional Catherine Wheel motif that I worked in red and white. I used snaps for a closure, but buttons would work too.
