A formula for increasing a pattern?

Feb 11, 2005

    1. Hi how would one increase a pattern? I have a 29cm doll pattern that I really like and would like to increase it to fit a 60cm doll (Lishe)? Any suggestions?
       
    2. 29 times 2 equals 58 cm.

      So, try doubling the pattern, and check the pattern measurements against your doll's.
      The pattern should be a little bigger than the doll--logical enough, since the clothing must fit over your doll.
      clothes ((body)) clothes.
      Or try the enlarged pattern on; trace a copy onto paper towels & tape them together for a quick & dirty sizing trial.
