Knits for Dolls book review #spon

Knits for Dolls review

Do you like to knit? Does your daughter have dolls? Both of these questions can be answered with a big fat YES for me! We were contacted by the publicist for the author of a fantastic new book for knitting. The book Knits for Dolls- 25 Fun, Fabulous Outfits for 18-Inch Dolls by Nicky Epstein is a colorful and adorable book filled with some of the best knitting projects I have personally seen. The photos in the book are bright, cheery, and colorful. The directions for the projects are easy to follow, easy to complete, and provide you with a great deal of information.Knits For Dolls review

As soon as I received this book in the mail I ran off to the local craft supply store and purchased some yarn to get going. I honestly, couldn’t wait to fire up the ol’ knitting needles! One thing I adored about this book was that they shared the exact brand and color of each yarn that they used to complete the project. So many times I adore the color of a project I find in a book and don’t know exactly what they used.  I would say that the levels of ease for the projects in this book range from: mostly easy to moderate skill, which is perfect for someone like me who has four kids and doesn’t have time for a really time-consuming project. Even though the title of the book states 25 projects there really are several more! Each outfit is accompanied by adorable accessories ranging from purses and socks to hats and headbands!

I have about 3 projects from this book in the works right now and I plan to take it along with me on my 6 hour drive up north for the holiday weekend. I cannot wait to see the finished products of my work! Kudos to Nicky Epstein for creating an adorable and easy to follow knitting book! My daughters American Girl doll will be the most stylish doll on the block! Enter below for your chance to win your own copy of this amazing book!

    I would absolutely love this book to knit for my daughters’ dolls.

  4. Anne-Marie says

    I’d be knitting for myself because I am so slow! By the time I finish anything, the intended recipient would probably no longer be interested.

  5. Ellen Gaynor says

    I’d love to make some outfits for my granddaughter’s dolls.

  6. I’ll be knitting for my daughter (and for me)
