Nonfiction; crafts. Cute and pretty patterns for knitted dollies (each with its own personality) and their knitted/sewn clothes. I'm tempted to make these even though I don't know any kids to give them to.

I'm a knitter, not a crocheter, so I appreciate the brief introduction to both UK and US crochet terms in the front of the book. The patterns are adorable, and many of them begin with a basic pattern, then several more toys that build on that basic pattern. (Provided by publisher)

I gave up with this book - too many mistakes, very difficult to get the errata. There are better knitted pattern books for stuffed animals.

I bought this book for inspiration. I enjoy crocheting things for my grandkids and thought some toys would be fun to make. What a great little book! Lots of different kinds of yarn, and the patterns look pretty easy. I can't wait to start my first project!
