Barbie Umbrella

November 5, 2020

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.
