This beautifully presented book contains a fabulous collection of adorable knitted dolls and their contemporary styled clothes and accessories,. There are 12 different dolls and all of the garments can be mixed and matched to create unique outfits. You can also change the dolls’ hair style and colour easily too, to create the doll that perfectly matches your child’s desires! My Knitted Doll is not for the absolute beginner knitter, but will appeal to knitters who do have a basic understanding of the craft. The instructions are presented succinctly with easy to follow diagrams, with charts for intarsia and other designs. Once completed these knitted dolls will make fabulous presents for children who will love the attention to detail given to their fun and stylish contemporary wardrobe. About the Author Louise Crowther is a British knitting designer who loves knitting dolls, toys and decorations – basically anything that is small and neat and you don’t need to worry about whether it will fit you or not when you’ve finished! Louise has been involved with textile design all her working life, starting my career as a Jacquard designer based in Yorkshire, creating elaborate, woven cloth designs for the corporate market and high street fashion retailers. Her passion for knitting started when her eldest son wanted to learn how to knit, and although his interest in knitting lasted no longer than a week, Louise was hooked! Unable to find any knitting patterns for toys that really appealed, Louise decided to have a go at creating her own; and so began the next chapter of her design career. Her work has been featured in various magazines including Making Gifts and Simply Knitting, and she has published three books, this one, Knitted Animal Friends, and Knitted Wild Animal Friends.
