How to crochet Barbie Singer Dress

May 10, 2023

Here is the second crochet design in my Barbie Musician Outfit Collection – Barbie Singer Dress.

This dress is also made with fine thread and hook to achieve the look of fine garment. The stitch used in this pattern is called “almond stitch” and it’s easy, just alternating single, half and double crochet stitches to get the wavy look. You will also learn an easy special stitch called “spike stitch”.

The Barbie Singer Dress is made in 4 steps:

  1. Dress rectangular piece
  2. Side edge and buttonloops
  3. Shoulder straps
  4. Buttons

WRITTEN PATTERN OF BARBIE SINGER DRESS

I recommend metallic thread like Liz Metallic for this dress to give it some extra sparkle. Liz Metallic (size 20) dark pink is color A and DMC (size 8) light grey is color B. One ball of each color is enough. Crochet hook is 1.75 mm. You’ll also need 6 tiny buttons (1/4-inch) for back closure.


Abbreviations:
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet
sl st = slip stitch

Special sitches:
Spike sc = work sc in skipped st three rows below.

Pattern notes:
The whole dress is worked in one piece, in rows from bottom to top.

  • Row 1 = sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each ch (51 sc), finish last sc with color B (= pull up loop in last ch with color A, make a slip knot with color B, pull slip knot through 2 loops on hook, don’t cut off color A).
