I wanted this Barbie dress to be versatile and easy to knit. It will look good in any color, solid, handpainted, self striping, etc. The seed stitch adds a bit of texture, and the stockinette body makes for a quick knit. It is knit on circulars or DPN in one piece, there is no finishing work involved! You can make it as long or as short as you like. Have fun with it!
