This is a knitting pattern for a basic sundress 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 arm placement, so the fit is excellent.

Pattern for the sun hat is not included.

It requires fingering weight yarn or sock yarn and a set of US 1 (2.50mm) double pointed needles.

It knits up quickly in “the round” so there’s no swatching, seaming or sewing. Knit it once, if it could be slightly bigger or smaller, knit it a second time using smaller or larger needles.

This is a row by row pattern, no charts.

Cheers!
