Barbie is the most favorite toys for any girl. After all, here, like in no other toy, you can show your taste.

A fashionable Barbie is one who has several evening dresses in her closet. Cocktail dress, ballet dress, shoes, hats and many interesting accessories.

A dress for Barbie does not have to be bought in a store. You can do it yourself. Ask mom to knit some interesting patterns.

Especially for the fashionable Barbie, here are three luscious dresses in which your doll will be the brightest, even on an everyday walk.

Yarn

You can use a variety of yarns to knit a Barbie dress. But most often craftswomen use iris thread.

This is a very thin cotton thread that makes not only great napkins, but also interesting outfits for Barbie.

Hook

The hook is always selected depending on the thickness of the ball of thread. Therefore, when knitting, first select a thread, and then a hook for it.

Moreover, most balls always have a hint as to which hook is allowed to be used for work.

Important! The hook for the thread should be twice as thin, at its narrowest point, than the thread itself.

The pattern is important, who does not know how to cast on loops on a hook

Measurements

Measurements are initially taken from the doll, just like from a person. Next, they make patterns using measurements and only after that they begin to create models of dresses and other clothes.

Barbies are the same size. Therefore, a small picture shows the basic measurements that can be used when creating a crocheted dress.

Barbie casual dress

A very fashionable trend is reflected in the Barbie dress - these are geometric shapes. Everything is in pastel shades and overall it doesn’t look vulgar, but very cute. Let's look at knitted items in detail with descriptions.

To work you will need:

• iris threads (green, white, beige, pink);
• hook number 0.75.

The basis

The product starts from the hem. You need to cast on 32 air loops. Next perform a lifting loop. Immediately start knitting single crochets with the fabric. It is they who form such a dense and neat knitting. The pink thread begins to work.

It is necessary to knit in a circle a fabric of 32 single crochets in one circle, so that the seam is not noticeable; you can knit in a spiral, just do not perform lifting loops. Knit 14 circles using pink thread according to the pattern and switch to white thread. With its help, perform 4 and insert green yarn into 12 loops on the right side.

Knit one circle like this with alternating white and green thread and insert beige yarn symmetrically from the opposite edge. Knit 11 rows like this. Next, instead of green, knit with just white thread and beige thread for 5 rows. Then, in the same place where the loops of the green thread were, insert the same number of loops with the pink thread.Knit 8 rows with decreases of one loop in each.

Next, knit without decreasing and without beige thread (in its place again white) 5 rows. Add green instead of beige and knit three circles and remove pink. Knit 5 rows of white and pink and add beige one last time in place of the pink thread. At the same time, start adding one stitch on each row. Knit 8 rows with increases.

Straps

Knit the circle without changes, only add 10 loops on the sides for the straps, skipping 4 stitches in the knitting. Perform the next 3 rows according to the pattern and in each air loop one single crochet.

Product finished, left hide the threads and try on a beautiful new thing on the doll.

Dress with dropped straps

A very elegant model designed for a special occasion. Maybe a beautiful Barbie is going to a ball, then she simply cannot do without such a model.

To work you will need:

• iris thread (white, beige, dirty pink, pink, burgundy);
• hook 0.75.

Top

The dress is knitted with a top. It must be knitted from the bottom up, then the straps are knitted. Then the hem of the model is knitted from the bottom edge. The top is made with simple single crochet stitches. To get a wave at the neckline, you need to knit the last row with single crochets, and in front add 3 single crochets on each side.

Cast on 28 chain stitches for the top and knit a row with single crochets. Close the circle and continue the circles with single crochets. Knit 3 circles like this, then single crochets and inserted three stitches for the wave. The last row is single crochet to get a tight edge to the corset.

Straps

It is more convenient to tie the straps separately and then sew them to the bodice. For the straps, take burgundy yarn.Cast on 10 stitches and work single crochets into each stitch. Then use the same stitches, just knit two stitches into one.

White lace is made in a similar pattern to burgundy, only instead of three rows, make 4 and in each row make two single crochets in the previous one.

Hem

The hem must be made according to the given diagram. Start knitting from the bottom edge of the bodice, but immediately make additions, knitting the main pattern 4 loops per stitch. Knit 4 rows with beige thread. Next are three pink and three beige. Switch to white and complete 29-30 rows. You can make it a little longer or shorter.

Important! The length of the product can be changed, since each person has his own knitting density and even 30 rows may not be enough for a good length of the dress.

Assembly

All that remains is to sew on the straps and you can try them on. A dress with such a pattern stretches well and it will be convenient for even a little girl to wear this outfit if her mother is busy.

Doll dress bodice

The bodice of the dress is made using mesh. For it you need to cast on loops for 12 repeats of the mesh pattern. Knit 20 rows.

Hem

The hem is made with a shell pattern and is knitted from the bottom of the bodice down to the legs. To do this, you need to knit 6 repeats from the shell pattern around the entire circle. Make the required number of rows so that the length reaches the floor.

Cape

The top must be made as a separate part. You can sew it on after completion. These are 10 repeats around the circumference and 4 rows in height. To make it look good, point the shell in the same direction as the hem of the dress.It turns out that the cape is also knitted from top to bottom.
