This Crochet pattern for the Retro style dress using Bullion Block stitch fits 18” doll.
The pattern contains mostly charts, not stitch-by-stitch written instructions.
This pattern contains both the long sleeved high neck version as well as short sleeve version with deeper neckline. It also includes instructions for matching headband.

The pattern can be used to make a dress to fit a full body 18” like AG / American Girl, Generation doll, Harmony Doll and similar and requires either fingering yarn, sock weight yarn or #3 crochet thread. Same pattern using light fingering yarn, lace weight or crochet #5 thread will produce a dress to fit slimmer body doll like Kidz ‘n’ Cats, Gotz, Journey doll and similar.

This pattern is designed and written by a talented crochet artist Viktoriya Isakina. Viktoriya lives in Ukraine and her work has been published in top European knit & crochet publications.
