This pattern was to fit my daughters baby cabbage patch doll which is a bit smaller then the regular size. Larger sizes can be made by adjusting your starting chain or using a larger hook. \*\*Itested this pattern fora regular sized cabbage patchkid using a 5.5mm hook and some LionBrand Homespun yarn and it fits perfectly\*\*\*
