Pattern for child-size sling?

Anyone know of a sewing pattern for a chil-size sling? My daughter has
started trying to use ours fer her dolls and gets frustrated as it's so
big!!

Monika made one each for Clara and Niel, just copying one of hers in
a smaller size. Who needs a pattern? :-)

I was going to suggest just changing the measurements of a larger
pattern, like the ones on Jan's site.....don't have the URL, but there
are instructions.

Larry, Stephen was looking at the pictures with me, and when he saw the one
of Niel sleeping, he said "He fell down... poor little guy!" Hee!

My sling directions are at http://www.sleepingbaby.net/jan/Baby/sling.html
but you could just as easily use the MayaWrap directions -- no need to make
the shoulder with pleats, since it won't be weight-bearing, really. I'd use
a piece of fabric a yard long, maybe a yard and a half, and 15-20" wide.
Macrame craft rings would work fine.
