The pattern includes instructions for knitting a top for 1:6 Barbie-size doll (adult and teenager) and includes calculations for two variants of yarn.

The tops are knitted in the round top down, so the length can be easily adjusted for whichever one you need: crop top, hip-length top or dress.

Required skills:
Cast on, Bind off
Knit, purl
Increases
Cables (1x1 left-leaning cables)
Work in the round
