Brimmed Hat - free crochet pattern

This is a brimmed child hat I made from a pattern found on Ravlery - currently my favorite web site. The pattern is Big Girl Bonnet by Kay Rae. I made some slight changes in coloring and made a bow instead of the flower just to freshen things up a little but the pattern remains the same.
I'm posting the pattern here just in case you don't have a Ravelry account, but I sincerely recommend you create one and go crazy with their patterns :-)

A navy blue dress with matching booties for newborns. The lower right butterfly is a pocket, and the upper left butterfly is only decorative as well as the butterflies on the booties.

Green Ripple Dress

A simple summer dress, very easy to make.
The top is made with single stitches, and the skirt part with double stitches in ripple pattern. The dress is made in one piece and doesn't need to be buttoned in the back. This is very convenient if kids are dressing Barbie in it, since they usually have issues with buttons :-)

Pretty in Purple with Jacket

Currently my favourite Barbie dresses!
It is actually quite a simple pattern: the top is made with single stitches, and the skirt with shell stitches all around.
Hook size needed: 3,5mm/E hook
The white jacket was made by my sister.

Barbie dresses

I have quite a collection of unique handmade Barbie dresses. This is only a part of the collection, since I am still in the process of making them. But I can not wait to finish all of them before I post them, so here they are. 

Golden Gown - it's actually a two-piece dress. I made the top and skirt separably to make it easier to dress the doll. I got the lacy pattern from MyPicot.com.

 Red two-piece suit - supposed to be a bussines suit, but somehow ended up a bit too....wel, lets just say too revealing.


Red evening gown - this is the first Barbie dress I made. I made it without taking measurements, so it ended up a bit too small for a regular 11,5 inch Barbie doll.






These first four dresses were made with steel crochet hook number 7

 Peachy flower dress - pattern for the skirt again from MyPicot. Crochet hook size 3,5mm/E. 

Sun-kissed Yellow Dress

This is currently my favorite Barbie dress! I even have no more comments to add about it since I feel any further comment on my part would be to much because I am more than bias on this matter :-). Thus I will leave it up to you to judge how pretty it is or how it is not. There is just one more thing I must do and that is to thank my sister for buying this color thread (even if she did buy it for herself and i stole it) that was so beautiful it was in itself an inspiration. 

It was made with crochet hook 3,5/E with sc stitches across the yelow part, and a standart shell motif for the rims.
