It takes an inordinately long time to design Barbie clothes and get them to fit - especially when they have very little shaping.

Slow to design but quick to knit. These four designs all have some quirky construction features so you can practise ideas and techniques on a small scale.

Three outfits are knitted; the brown one is crochet. They take very small amounts of yarn and can be adapted in various ways. You can even make an adult, or child size, jacket from the instructions in the pattern.
