HELP!!!! reducing a crochet pattern
#1
I did a search on here but couldn't find anything. I am making the GD's some crochet afghans for their 18 inch baby dolls. I have some really cute, easy patterns for baby blankets and would like to reduce the pattern to acommodate the 18 inch dolls. Does anyone know how to do this? :roll:
Thanks in advance!

I have crocheted for many, many years and this would be my advice also. Good Luck

I'm sure others here have much more experience than I do, but reducing the thread and needle size will reduce the overall size some, but I think you're wanting to make it considerably smaller. Like comparing a lap quilt to a mini quilt almost... am I reading that right? if that's the case, you will have to reduce the number of stitches. Which pattern are you using?
