Adjusting Crochet Patterns for Multiple Sizing

October 8, 2015November 9, 2015 AMKCrochet1 Comment

I receive a lot of questions about the sizing for my patterns, what age will it fit, and about how hard is it to adjust. As I just published my pirate outfit in multiple sizes, I thought now would be a good time to answer! First of all, there is no one size chart that will work for every child. All of my measurement are based off of averages (CDC website for head size), baby clothing (I have used Gerber pants to get estimates), diapers (they have weight for each size diaper), and just measuring babies that I have babysat and nanny for (of course, with permission from their parents). Yet, every child is still different and does not always fit into age and/or weight category. The absolute best thing you can do is get measurements of the child and adjust as necessary, which then leads to the question of how to adjust?

Newborn Crochet Pirate Outfit- Crochet Pattern

I definitely think one of my best decisions, for my business, has been to send items to a photographer! I had tried previously, but had the hardest time finding somebody who would work with me. I offered discount or free items to all of my local photographers, in exchange for photos, but I either never heard back or got a ‘maybe’. I even sold items, on Etsy, for a discounted price in exchange for photos… that I never received.Read More »

I absolutely love ribbed stitches! I have been using more and more of the front post double crochet (FPDC) and the back post double crochet (BPDC), for my items. They work so well for a variety of items or just to add some texture. One of the best parts about using ribbed stitches is that is has a nice stretch to it, for hats and waist bands. Therefore, I decided that my next free hat pattern will be using this technique! I will be posting a picture tutorial on how to work around the post next weekend with a free little bear hat pattern, that will be a similar design to my pom-pom hat!Read More »
