Barbie Red Riding Hood

I bought the three set fairy tale pattern set and only attempted the Red Riding Hood outfit last year. I had intended to make it for Barbie last year but it fit Skipper better and she went off with the outfit and I never got back to the dresses.

When I tried this previously I made it with size 3 thread. I wasn't comfortable with the fit but I went with what I had. It was one of the reasons it didn't fit Barbie well. This year when I placed my Knit Picks order for Pallete I made sure I had the yarns I needed to complete the rest of the fairy tale outfits for both Barbie and Skipper.

Notes:

As I mentioned above this outfit was made with Knit Picks Pallete yarn.

I did keep the color choices I made from my previous Skipper project. The original pattern uses red for the dress and the hood. I wanted a dress that might be more useful when not being used with the cape so when the bodice was completed with white I changed to blue for the skirt.

I needed an E hook for the bodice and used a D hook for the skirt. I changed the directions to not join until the bodice was finished as I found it was hard to get the dress on and off without leaving the bodice open and using a snap to close rather than having it be a complete slide on and off dress.

Note to self because I don't join the bodice when I go back to make the straps the first row should be done as written and finished off. Since it isn't joined I need to start from the same side. I didn't do that with this and had finished off the edges before I realized my mistake. In order to have the right side showing it needs to be started again rather than returned.

I needed a G hook to get the hood and chained 31 for the ties as I found them too short to tie as written. The rest worked as written.
