Most Kelly crochet patterns are written for thread. This eliminates them as possibilities for me to crochet them. When I found the free Kelly Halloween Cat Costume pattern and it worked I realized I had a pattern that might adapt into a dress.
I changed from Red Heart worsted weight yarn to Red Heart Sports Yarn. Adding increases created the skirt. For the most part, I followed the pattern established in the Betsy Ross Barbie pattern and it created a style I liked.
Kelly has big hair so I did not need to reduce the pattern for the cap. I used sports yarn and made the cap pattern found in Barbie pattern.
