Chelsea Summer Dress and Hat

I've been working on adapting Petite Doll Designs American Girl Mini patterns to fit Chelsea. I've found with work the patterns will fit. I thought I'd found a standard hook size for her patterns but this one required some decreases at the bodice to get it to fit properly. I think I'd go with a smaller hook the next time.

You can purchase the pattern here.

Notes:

I used a 1.25mm hook with size 20 crochet thread. When I make this in the future I'd consider a 1mm hook.

The skirt is long and I'd consider removing rows 6-7 when I made this again. It isn't supposed to be floor length.

I did a sc followed by a decrease around the bodice and arms to tighten the top as it was too large for the smaller Chelsea. This might not be as big an issue with a smaller hook.
