This knitting pattern is for the Rockabilly Dress and Headband shown with instructions for ALL of Barbie’s body types. The existing Body types are: Vintage, Silkstone, Athletic, Made-to-Move, and Classic. I will refer to all of the existing styles from now on as “Classic”. That’s because they vary only slightly, and one set of instructions will work for all “Classic” body styles. The new body styles recently added were, Petite, Tall, and Curvy.

This pattern Includes instructions for four different sizes in the following order: (Petite) (Classic) (Tall) (Curvy). This master pattern takes into account the “negative” ease required for each class of body type, body shape, and relative armhole placement, so the fit is excellent when the gauge is adhered to (9 stitches and 13 rows per inch in stockinette).

It requires light fingering weight yarn or sock yarn and a set of US 1 (2.50mm) double pointed needles. For yarn, I used: Knit Picks Palette Black, White, and Lipstick. You’ll also need two, 2-part sew-on snaps (one set for the dress top, and one set for the headband).

The dress is worked in the round on double pointed needles so there is no seaming and the fit is super realistic. It slides on easily from the legs up.

This is a row by row pattern, no charts.
