I used one strand of the yarn.

I was trying to shrink this cute shawl down for my tiny rag doll. I did the whole pattern except I stopped increasing after 23 stitches instead of the number called for in the pattern. There was no way it would fit around her shoulders when it was elbow length like it did on the bigger dolls.

But wait! It did fit on her head. I stitched part way up the back and had a cute little hat.
