A witches
dress and hat for Barbie in two different colourways. The skirt is made using the feather and fan
pattern which gives a nice ruffled effect and the bodice is either plain or
striped. The dress is made in one piece
with a centre back seam.
I tried this
pattern using a multi-colour yarn which makes a lovely little dress.
