Work in stockinet stitch (knit 1 row - right side, purl 1 row - wrong side) for 6 rows. Bind off. Sew back seam.
Halter Strap: Chain 100 stitches. Break off and knot strand securely. Attach center of chain to center front at top of
strapless dress. (“V” shape halter top). Put each strand around the doll’s neck to the center back of the gown. With
crochet hook, slip each end of strand through back of gown and tie in a small bow. Let the ends dangle down the
back.
Option: After pulling each strand through back of gown, cross strands and pull each strand through gown at
waistline. Weave strands through gown at waistline toward front of gown. Tie strand in a small bow at waistline
and let the strands dangle down the front.
Note: Photos show doll with a full top instead of a halter top. I have made this pattern easier by giving Instructions
For Only A Halter Top.
These photos were made many years ago, knitting from the top down (to get the top to fit correctly).
Photo 1: Border stitches were done with a "yarn over" pattern.
Photo 2: Multi-color skirt with furry pink trim.
Photo 3: Skirt was knit with a standard "feather and fan" stitch.
