5.0 out of 5 stars great book for knitters, crocheters, and doll lovers!, July 4, 2001

This is a fantastic pattern book! Lots of ideas, and things to work with. Adaptable to different sizes and types of dolls. The only caveat is that on a few of the patterns you have to improvise a little, and there is little or no gauge information. I've found that I start out with a pattern, and if it doesn't look like it will fit a doll, I'll rip it out and adjust accordingly. But it's a great reference--good for all-bisques, larger bisque headed dolls, compo, etc. The whole series (vols. 1 through 3) is well worth the money!
