This is a very quick and easy pattern that is easily adapted to different dolls. Just adjust the number of rows, and even the number of stitches, if you like, and off you go!
I would use crochet cotton or fingering weight yarn for Barbies and other small dolls, or slightly thicker yarn for larger dolls. I used a 1.8 mm hook.
Ch 32, turn (work first sc in second ch from hook)
Row 1: sc 9, hdc 3, hdc 19 in back loops. Ch 1, turn
Row 2: hdc 19 in back loops, hdc 9 (in both loops), sc 3.
Repeat until smaller end (with sc’s) fits around doll’s waist. Join last row (a row 2 row) to foundation chain with slip stitches about 2/3 of the way. Continue 3 sc-wide waistband for a few rows to make a flap. Sew on snaps.
