"I find I have to do math to enlarge a pattern. A little searching may be required to figure out how may extra stitches are required to form a pattern. Ex. A gentle ripple (3 DC in point) may take 16 stitches to allow for peak/dip/peak. I usually use scrap yarn to test out a 1 foot square. I use bobby pins as stitch markers rather than the formal ones or yarn cuttings. Good luck."

"Just finished making this for my daughter. I used 10ply acrylic yarn and 3.25mm hook and its about 20-25cm sitting down. For those wondering about the arms, I noticed there were 2-3 extra rows between the popcorn fingers and the fpsc row, so I used the leg pattern as a guide and did 2 rows 18sc then 5dec, 6sc, 1dec to get to 12 stitches and followed from round 5. Other changes were the nostrils and eyes. For the nostrils, I flattened it after the last round and closed it with 5-6 sc before tying off and sewing on. The eyes I did 6sc in a magic ring with 10ply black then followed the pattern for the colour. Happy baby girl )"
