Knitted Babes: Five Dolls and Their Wardrobes to Knit and Stitch (Mitchell Beazley Craft) Customer Review: WARNING! These dolls are addictive
These dolls are great - there are 5 and each has their own personality but of course you can mix and match outfits between dolls… the only problem is once you start it’s hard to stop so my advice is make them for someone else with a deadline like a birthday in mind. I’ve made one for a five year old (ballet-oriented), then her 10 year-old sister wanted one (she got a trendy wild red-hed) and now my sister wants one too but I’m all ‘babed-out’ for now… There are some great knitted babes blogs on-line too if you do a search and you can see what people in the US and France have done with their babes. Claire is an inspiring and highly original author - I can’t wait for her next book DREAM TOYS which is out soon… it looks like a knitted Unicorn on the cover - how cool is that?
Customer Review: knitted dudes
I bought this book for my 9year old daughter who has just learnt to knit and wanted to make something more than a scarf.

She is now onto her second doll. They are so easy to do, lots of helpful hints and tips at the start to get you through tricky bits like increase and decrease.

The outfits are gorgeous with lots of ideas to make them yours.

They are not traditional dolls due to their long legs, but are going to be firm favoutires in my house!!
