Barbie Crochet dresses and bag
To fit: 12” Barbie (the latest model) and most fashions dolls
Materials: 25g 4ply yarn( I used Patons Soft Cotton 4ply)
Crochet hook no 3.50 (or size to match tension)
Tip: Any 4 ply yarn would do, I made the dress in some left over sock yarn which was quite interesting.
Tension:

Abbreviations: Dc: double crochet (US single crochet), tr: treble crochet, (US double crochet), ch: chain, slst: slip stitch, inc: increase
Notes:This dress is a close fit so any differences in yarn weight will make a smaller or larger garment. Cotton thread is not suitable.
