We have frequently been asked is it possible to adapt this pattern to human sized, so we have worked out needle sizes and yardages required to do this. If you purchase the digital pattern you will also be able to download the full instructions for adapting the bedspread to human size.<\/p>\n

PLEASE NOTE: <\/strong>Printed instructions for adapting to human sized were NOT <\/strong>available on the original printed patterns, but are listed in full at base of page.<\/p>\n

The SAME<\/strong> pattern is used for EITHER<\/strong> human sized or 1:12th scale size BEDSPREAD<\/strong>.
\nNOTE: I have not tested the cellular blanket pattern to see if this can be worked in human size, so this is only available in 1:12th size at present.<\/p>\n

The original pattern is written for 1:12th scale and only lists materials required to make in this scale, so you will need to note the adaptions for gauge and material requirements for human size below or download the additional pdf file for this information.<\/p>\n

If working a full size bedspread the pattern is worked as written, apart from the top edge, see note below.<\/p>\n

Please read notes carefully to see yarn requirements and needle sizes<\/p>\n

For a 1:12th scale Dolls house bed:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gauge is not important as dolls house beds vary in size.<\/p>\n

Materials required to knit this pattern:
\nBedspread-<\/strong>size 22 needles (0.70 mm\/US size 6\/0), 1.5-2 balls DMC 100 crochet cotton. (Each square uses approx 5 m yarn).
\nCellular Blanket-<\/strong>size 16 (1.5 mm\/US size 3\/0) needles, 75-100 metres of 1-ply wool.<\/p>\n

Although the Apricot leaf pattern is a traditional design that has been around for at least 250 years in some form or another, the border design is my own creation.<\/p>\n
