These little outfits work up quickly and make great gifts for kids and toy collectors alike. I designed these to fit Barbie dolls in original and modern sizes, but they would work for other 11” fashion dolls with similar proportions. Both sweaters are knit flat and seamed at the sides; the neckline is made by binding off stitches on one row and casting on the next. I made the sweaters drop-shoulder for simplicity, with the sleeves formed by picking up stitches on either side of the neckline. The Stockinette stitch variation makes a roomy, oversized sweater and A-line skirt, and the ribbed set makes a close-fitting sweater and skirt with a flared hem. The sweaters fit every Barbie body type - Original, Petite, Tall, and Curvy - but I created two size variations for the skirts. Both skirts are knit in one piece and seamed.
