I need to make the shape at the top
out of yarn but much smaller.
Here's how I'm going to do it.
I have traced the original (too large) shape.
Per my calculations,
my new shape needs to be 40% of the original size.
I have calculated what the vertical
and horizontal measurements should be in inches.
I wrote that down on the original paper.
Since my original size is bigger than one sheet of paper,
I marked a cutting line and added diamond marks to line up later.
I cut my original in half and made copies of both halves at 40%.
Out popped my tiny copies which I will tape together
using the diamonds for matching up.
I will use my now reduced hand written dimensions
to check for accuracy.
All that is left to do is make my little yarn piece
using the tiny pattern to check the shape and size as I go.
Expect progress pictures.
