Today I have another pattern for the lovely 16″ Disney Rapunzel. She’s super fun to design for; the larger scale is a nice change from Barbie outfits. This shirt was inspired by some fashions I’ve spotted this year, most notably ruffles, peplum, and yellow. I’ve never been particularly on top of fashion trends for myself, but Rapunzel will be!
Materials
- G hook
- worsted-weight yarn
- 2 small snaps

I’ll post a third pattern for Rapunzel next week. But that’s the last one I have made. What should I crochet next for her? Your suggestions are always appreciated! 🙂
Nice design, Claire! Rapunzel looks quite sharp~ Ooh, you’re making me itch to pick up my crochet hook again!
Thank you so much, River! I’ll pass that along to Rapunzel. 🙂 It’s been quite awhile since I designed any doll clothes so it was really fun to return to it!
Very nice! The yellow matches her hair, and is very spring-y from my perspective, as it’s technically the second day of spring here and you’ve paired it (splendidly) with jeans shorts. I love the little ruffle, it’s adorable! 😀
