CONSTRUCTION

Halter dress is knit from the bottom up in the round until after the bust increases. Stitches are then bound off and piece is worked flat. Separate written instructions are given for each size: Mattel’s Barbie MTM in sizes Petite, Regular, Curvy, Tall and Integrity Toys Poppy Parker.

REQUIRED SKILLS

  • Knit stitches
  • Purl stitches
  • Increase and decrease stitches – K2TOG, SSK, M1R, M1L
  • Twisted stitches - KTBL
  • Slipped stitches - purl-wise

INSTRUCTIONS

The pattern is fully charted, but also includes complete written directions so the ability to read a chart is not necessary to work this pattern.

YARN NOTES

Variegated yarns work great for this dress, but look for yarn with short color changes to get the best effect. Additionally, pick a yarn with a good twist. It will be easier to work when using such small needles. Hedgehog Fibre Sock Minis are great for this project - fantastic color choices!

ADDITIONAL NOTIONS

Stitch marker
Tapestry/blunt yarn needle
1 20 mm earring hoop per dress
