You can also use patterns for other dolls or even premies. Adjust the size of your hook to fit. Also, if the pattern calls for thread, use yarn & change hook size to increase the size. If the pattern calls for yarn & is for babies, use thread or a smaller type yarn and smaller hook. All things are possible with enough sizes of hooks & yarn. So in essence:
If the pattern is larger than your doll: decrease yarn & hook
If the pattern is smaller than your doll: increase yarn & hook

Thankyou for letting me know how to change the patterns to fit different dolls or babies.I just crochet things for my neighbor's baby and my sister's dd that still play with dolls.
