This is a KNITTING pattern (not crochet) for a bubble princess dress for Labubu doll. Uses YO increases and K2tog decreases. Worked flat then joined in round.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a crochet or knitting pattern?
This is a knitting pattern, not crochet. It uses knit stitches with YO (yarn over) increases and K2tog decreases, worked on knitting needles rather than a crochet hook.
How is the dress constructed?
It starts with 36 stitches cast on and is worked flat for the yoke, with raglan-style YO increases shaping the body and sleeve sections. At Row 10 the work is joined in the round, the sleeve stitches are held aside, and the body continues down before the held stitches are picked up to knit the sleeves.
How do I make the bubble effect at the hem?
The body is increased dramatically (up to 210 stitches around Round 25) and then sharply decreased with paired K2tog clusters in Round 27, which gathers the fabric into the puffed bubble shape that gives the dress its name.
