I was wondering if any one knew how to convert Barbie crochet patterns to the size of kelly doll. Thank you?

Answer 1

All crochet pattern books will tell you that the needle size listed is approximate and to make a test swatch first to judge the accurate size. Some people crochet tight, some crochet loose, and this all bears a factor on the size of the finished garment. The size and type of yarn also bears a factor. There are some things I have made (such as granny squares) where I have had to use three or four different sized needles to get all the squares to come out the same size.

When reducing from a Barbie pattern to a Kelly size, you would probably go down three needle sizes. Bear in mind that if you also change to a smaller yarn (crochet thread instead of crochet yarn, for example), you may need to only go down one needle size.

It's a trial and error type of thing. Try a simple pattern first, and adjust needle sizes as needed. (The same number of stitches would be used, just smaller needles and/or smaller thread.)

I just went through the reverse. I had to enlarge my Barbie crochet patterns to fit a doll twice her size. Trial and error taught me to use regular 4-ply crochet yarn and two needle sizes larger. I got it done, though, and it looks great to me...!

I actual have diverse barbies and their clothing. I constantly do my makeup like a barbie. i grew to become into purely thinking. is this regularly occurring? I could take my dolls everywhere with me. even in college. and my friends there observed and that i grew to grow to be a giggling inventory i assume.. that is no longer that i think strange doing it. i've got desperate to grant a relatives social gathering, and that i'm getting extra dolls. Do you think of i'm loopy? Oh, i be responsive to this questions would be fairly uncommon so ummmm, yeah. and no, i'm no longer a troll. I actual have extra effective issues to do with my time than waste it on Y!A asking stupid questions. yet i actual am severe !

Answer 3

kelly is her little sister, right. i would think u should be able to leave a few stitches out and remeasure that way. good luck

Answer 4

if Kelly doll is smaller, smaller needle or smaller thread. If larger, larger needle and/or larger thread.

Answer 6
