At summer beer or wine festivals, Barbie loves to wear a dirndl!

You can’t buy a dirndl like this anywhere! Crochet it in the traditional colors of black, red, and green—or in your favorite colors. All you need is a little leftover thin cotton yarn (approx. 163 m / 50 g).

The sleeves of the blouse are crocheted on, making it easier to put on the dirndl.
The pattern also includes instructions for the accessories: a traditional hat, a bag, a necklace, and a gingerbread heart.

If you’re planning to take part in the St. Martin’s parade with two children and would like to make the lanterns yourself, then these two lanterns in a set are just right, because they complement each other—the leaves that are cut out for one lantern are glued onto the other, saving time and work.


 
The lanterns, approx. 21 cm ø and approx. 27 cm ø, are made from photo cardstock and translucent paper. They are not difficult to make, but you should already have a little crafting experience.
