If you don't want to resize a pattern check Butterick patterns I know they have one in toddler sizes and think I've seen them in McCall's and Simplicity.
They are beautiful. Can I come and join your class?
Come join us. We spend more time chatting than we do exercising. Mostly we hang onto noodles and float around the pool. Maybe that's why none of us is losing weight!
