I’ve been in a Barbie doll crocheting mood recently – must be reflecting back on my childhood days when I played with my Barbie all the time 🙂
I prefer to crochet my Barbie clothing in fingering/light weight cottons or sock yarns which gives you such fun color combos. Â My hook size is usually a size C (2.75mm) especially for a form fitting top and then I increase to a size D (3.25mm) or E (3.50mm) for the skirt and ruffles. Â These size hooks are Susan Bates Silvalume Crochet hooks, by far, my favorite hook!!
After searching around, I did come across a fun, bohemian/peasant style dress that I liked.  So I hooked two variations of the pattern – making one style a full, twirly skirt and the other just a fuller style.  I added ruffles and reverse crochet along the bottom edges.  My dresses are a little snug to slide on and off because I wanted the top portion to fit securely.  You can always add straps if you want your dress to have a looser fit around the top.
You can find the cute original dress pattern at linmary123.
I did crochet the sun hat like the original pattern and I think it adds a nice finished look to the dress. Â Used my own shoulder strap purse pattern as a perfect accessory for Barbie’s outfits.
Well now, I’m on a roll so I worked up my own design for a form fitting dress that you can easily adjust the size to fit whatever style Barbie doll you have. Â Also, this pattern accommodates a fun flirty look or a dressier evening out on the town style. Â You can find this pattern here in the next couple of days.

Have fun crocheting clothing for your Barbie dolls.  These make awesome handmade gifts too.  I always try to look for patterns that make it easy for putting on and taking off too for those little ones who enjoy Barbies but sometimes a “good style” requires a little more work to slide into 🙂
These are great crochet projects that are good for a beginner too. Use up those little leftover balls of yarn from your stash and have fun mixing your colors too. Â And don’t forget about adding buttons and beads to give your outfits that pizzazz!!
TIP: Â My Barbie is a Belly Button style doll so you might need to increase/decrease in places to fit your specific doll.
How long did it take to make a dress Thanks
These Barbie dresses usually take me between 3 to 5 hours to complete, I’m sometimes watching TV too 🙂
Do you have a pattern for the BOHEMIAN STYLE CROCHET DRESS FOR BARBIE? I would love to make one for my granddaughter. Willing to purchase pattern.
Thanks!
Andrea,
No I currently don’t have a Barbie pattern for a bohemian type crochet dress. There is a website called https://www.linmaryknits.com/ and she has some free crochet patterns for Barbie and you might find something for you. Hope this helps!!
