Crochet Red Labubu Dress Set Tutorial
Skill Level: Beginners. As every sweater project needs, you will be using the same basic crochet stitches. These are the chain stitch, single crochet, slip stitches, increase, FLO, chain-skipping, and some basic sewing. The pattern is written in the US instructions. Color changes are used a little for the collar. Also, make sure you know how to sew a button, as the T-shirt is removable. You will also use the flat work, starting froma slip knot for the hat also.
Tutorial Timing: Approximately 13 minutes for the hat and 40 minutes for the sweater (perfect for learning the fundamentals of crocheting the small dresses so that you can extend the techniques for baby outfits and then adults. You can also practice taking the measurements. You will also learn how to make holes in a crochet item by joining the ends of chains.)
Personalization Tips: Maybe you have a 24cm doll, so make a gauge swatch and adjust the initial chains, as it will determine the diameter of the shirt. Measure the Labubu waist and arm length correctly before following the pattern. You can also try a different color, brown and white and more!
Pattern Type: An on-screen written pattern is available if you find written instructions easy to follow along with.
