A Question... and maybe suggestion?
What would you say the size of the finished doll is? Like, when one follows the pattern exactly... Cuz I want to make one that's bigger, but I would like to know how much bigger I would have to make it... you know? It's easier to modify stuff if you know what you're working with. If the answer to my question is there, in either of you guys' patterns, and I'm just too tired to see it, let me know. But I think a 'finished doll height' would be a good addition to the pattern if it's not there. (love the site btw, any knitter should be proud to have a pattern posted there)Oh boy. I'm going to bed.

Re: A Question... and maybe suggestion?
Mine came out to be about 9.5 - 10 ".October 7 2005, 04:43:14 UTC 6 years ago
The body back part of the pattern contains one error. Row 27 is the same decrease row as appears on the front of the robot, but since the increase that occurs in row 21 on the front doesn't appear on the back it ends up not working out correctly. I omitted the decrease, making row 27 of the back just another knit row, and this seemed to work OK.

Just wondering, too -- do you have a link to the page with the one in the background on it?
February 23 2006, 02:33:13 UTC 6 years ago
I'm having trouble finding it again in Amazon itself, though, so perhaps it's out of stock. Sorry!
Googling (or searching ebay) for 'hitchhiker's plush' and the like might turn something up.

I think that you might have made an error in typing out your pattern for the back.
