I love the idea of the vest, but how would I upsize it for an 18-inch doll?
try adding on more rounds? it IS a cute vest and seems easy to make…
You would need to make more rounds before the armholes, then continue from there, making sure the armholes are big enough and spaced properly.
Hi, Im confused at the part that says “skip 3 hdc, 6 fdc,….†does that mean when i skip 3 ch, i crochet 6 fdc unattached? I think the step after that is †one LDC into next st. So do i put the ldc into the 4ch or 9th ch?
Yes, the 6 fdc are detached to create the armholes. The ldc goes in the next st after the skipped ones.
