Barbie Shell Stitch Outfits

Crochet a cute dress, top and skirt for Barbie (+ other 11.5 inch dolls) with this quick and easy pattern all in shell stitch.

4 ply or sport weight yarn with a 3mm hook is recommended, but you can also use DK yarn with a 2.5mm hook.

2 pattern versions included:

1) A 10 PAGE PDF pattern with step by step explanations and photos.

2) A shorter 3 PAGE TEXT ONLY PDF pattern for easy printing and handy for more experienced crocheters.

The best way to check sizing is to crochet a 4 round mini crop top first.

Use the same base pattern to crochet short crop tops, full length t-shirt, dress or skirt (adjustable length).

You need 40-45m (44-50 yds) of yarn for the above the knee dress, but only small scraps for a crop top or mini skirt.
