Crochet a cute dress, top and skirt for Barbie (+ other 11.5 inch dolls) with this quick and easy pattern all in shell stitch.

Free pattern version on my blog (with ads). Premium Pattern for sale on Ravelry includes:

  • Full PDF pattern with photos (10 pages)
  • Short text only PDF pattern for easy printing (3 pages)
  • Priority Pattern Support

4 ply or sport weight yarn with a 3mm hook is recommended, but you can also use DK yarn with a 2.5mm hook.

The best way to check sizing is to crochet a 4 round mini crop top first.

Use the same base pattern to crochet short crop tops, full length t-shirt, dress or skirt (adjustable length).

You need 40-45m (44-50 yds) of yarn for the above the knee dress, but only small scraps for a crop top or mini skirt.
