If the gauge is right, then maybe your doll worked up bigger than mine did, so you might want to check the gauge on the doll.<br /><br />If the pants fit, I'm not sure why the shirt did not. If you make another shirt, you might check the fit against the doll as you work, and add stitches as needed. <br /><br />warmly,<br /><br />BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15174223079054928870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647790914647612650.post-31985276488122218472017-08-05T17:48:33.156-04:002017-08-05T17:48:33.156-04:00Can I check something with you?

I'm obviously doing something wrong, but I don't know what. Size 8 steel hook is 1.25 mm, right? I did it using a 2mm hook and it still came out teeny. I'm at a loss.
