While gauge is important to making sure the dress fits the doll, it is easy to measure against the doll as you knit, and make adjustments as you go. These dresses are pretty quick and easy to make, so mistakes in fit or gauge aren’t going to cost you hours of work either. These little projects are great for stash busting old sock yarn. With only minor adjustments any of these skirts and tops can be mixed and matched for a unique look.
