I’ve improvised my crochet dress pattern to make this blue and white crochet dress for Barbie. The pattern uses 4ply yarn - I used Patons 4ply soft cotton, but any 4ply would work. The bodice is made first in dc, from the waist to neckline, then the skirt is added from the waist to the hem. The pattern is very easy, worked in continuous rounds and all you need to know is how to do double crochet, treble crochet and slip stitch.

As the dress has no back opening and crochet is quite open be very careful when dressing barbie that her feet and hands dont catch the threads.

If you make the pattern please let me know if you find any typos or other mistakes so I can amend the pattern. And I would love to hear your comments.
