Crochet Doll Dress - Free Pattern

The whole design consists of a bunch of double crochet stitches. I measured the top and hip parts of the doll and added chains accordingly. Then, I continued with double crochet stitches. Increased once for the skirt and then continued with 1 DC per stitch to give that frilly look. The bow is a combination of trebles and chains inside a magic ring.

BTW..My 6-year-old suggested the color combination and the design. It felt like working for a mini fashion designer ;)

🧶 Materials Needed:

• Yarn in two colors (e.g., purple and pink)

• Crochet hook suitable for your yarn (commonly 2.5 mm or 3 mm)

• Yarn needle

• Scissors
