1 dc in 3rd ch from hook and last 5.

Ch 2, turn, 1 dc in each stitch till end.
Ch 2, 1 dc in each of next 3, ch 2, skip 2, dc in next 14, ch 2, skip 2, dc in last 4 stitches. You have officially made Barbie's arm openings.

Ch 2, 1 dc in each stitch across, working 2 dc in each arm opening.

Work the next 5 rows, ch 2, 1 dc in each till end. Fasten off!

Using your yarn end, sew a 3/4" button on the top left side of the collar area. You will now be able to wrap the other side of the collar around and push the button through any convenient space.
