Barbie Umbrella

Let’s crochet the umbrella for Barbie to complete her raincoat outfit. You will find the raincoat tutorial and pattern here:

I found the piece of insulated wire for the umbrella stick and it actually works well to fit the umbrella in Barbie’s hand. You can bend the hook part of the stick into small circle and attach it to her hand.

It was a challenge but a fun one to figure out the construction of the umbrella. I hope the video tutorial and written pattern are helpful to you to crochet your own Barbie umbrella.

Apply some glue on top of the umbrella stick, then insert it in umbrella nub.
Grab 2 pairs of strands on opposite sides, wrap the first pair around the stick, then wrap the opposite pair in opposite direction around the stick, so you can tie them around the stick. Make a double knot. Repeat three times and trim the ends.
