This is another Barbie outfit inspired by my lovely granddaughters. The thing is I remember flares from the first time around in the 70s lol
The flares are knit from the waist down with instructions for Curvy Barbie in blue brackets. The top is knit from the front hem in one piece to the back with incorporated sleeves. It will fill all Barbie dolls.
I
love my hobby of designing patterns and posting them online. But I
often can’t find anyone who has the time to test my patterns, although I do
knit them up a few times myself. So mistakes can slip by, especially
typos when transferring the pattern to my blog. So, please, if you
find and errors or have any queries, let me know in the comments
below. Thanks
