POOH (MINIATURIZED)

POOH (MINIATURIZED)

This pattern is a miniaturized version of the pattern of Pooh in the book shown above.  I made a Pooh using the pattern out of the book, and he was huge.  A co-worker saw the large Pooh but did not want it that large, so she asked if there is any way I could make it make it smaller.  I tried using a smaller hook but did not make it much smaller.  I do not have access to the colors needed in the crochet cottons that would work to make it smaller using thinner thread.  So I redesigned the pattern using the same technique but with half the number of stitches and half the number of rounds.  The result is a 9 inch Pooh.  Here is the pattern.
