Knitted Babes: Five Dolls & Their Wardrobes To Knit & Stitch

by Clare Garland

Novice knitters only need to know a few stitches to make a collection of dolls with personality and wardrobes to match. To begin, the practical knitting and sewing know-how section illustrates the simple garter and stockinette stitches used to assemble the dolls. Supplies are minimal and easy to obtain--just yarn and thread, sewing and knitting needles, and some small pieces of fabric for the clothes and accessories. One each of five sections is devoted to creating each doll's identity and accoutrements. Included are sewing templates to cut out and use, knitting charts, and advice on washing and caring for these dolls. This skill-building project book is a start-to-finish playmate maker that will inspire creativity and spark the imagination.
