Question
I found a pattern I like, it is smaller than I want though. How can I make the finished project larger?
HI Tracey.
YOu can use a smaller count cloth to make the pattern larger.
you can double the size by doubling the stitches: for every stitch, make one extra across and down, actually you will be making 4 stitches instead of one. that way you will be making it wider and longer at the same time.
