Handmade Crafts For Sale

since you already Have the pattern, all you really need is to choose shades that are darker & complement each other. eg. if the present skin tones are in pinks/beige [i'm not very good at Naming colors ;-/] & there are 4 shades, then choose 4 shades of browns that will have the same degree of difference [between themselves] as the former.

Or, you could start with the 'darkest' of the 4 pinks - use this as the starting point or as the lightest shade of the new dark tones. then choose the rest of the 3 shades in darkening tones, following the same principle.

also, take the pattern And the cloth to the shop while buying the skeins. place the skeins on the cloth & it will help you decide whether the colors will go well with the cloth And the entire pattern.

i do this often since, even when i'm using a book pattern, i don't get the same brand as recommended. hence i have to improvise a lot. but it all comes together in the end.
don't be afraid to try out something new - you'll feel even More satisfied & happy with your work when it's finished )

hope this helps
all the very best & have fun )

ADDITION : if you have a photograph or picture of a dark baby, i can convert it into a cross-stitch pattern for you.
