There are five characterful babes, each with a wardrobe of hand-knit and hand-sewn trendy clothes, combining tactile natural fibres with versatile printed textiles. The charm and personality of each doll is brought to life by the colour photography throughout. A practical knitting and sewing know-how section explains the simple knit and purl stitches needed to create the dolls, with colour illustrations. There are sewing templates to cut out and use, as well as knitting charts and advice on washing and caring for your babes. This is a superb collection of designs for creating fun, funky, and charming knitted dolls that are perfect for giving as gifts (if you can bear to part with them).
