Great for the novice or expert knitter,
By
This review is from: Knits for Barbie Doll: 75 Fabulous Fashions for Knitting (Hardcover)
A great layout, with good pictures and instructions, there's plenty here to keep the 'dolly-knitter' occupied. From simple scarfs and hats to an elaborate wedding gown, there are outfits to suit all tastes and abilities. Some can be made for the children, and some for the adult collectors. All patterns use 'normal' size needles, so there's no need to go hunting for 1mm needles!

Not for ordinary knitting yarns,
By
This review is from: Knits for Barbie Doll: 75 Fabulous Fashions for Knitting (Paperback)
I'm only an average knitter which is probably why I was disappointed with this book. Keen to begin immediately I soon realised I had no yarn fine enough. Almost all of these patterns use fine tapestry wool, crochet cotton etc often working with two strands together. You will also need 2.00mm, 2.25mm, 2.50mm and 2.75mm needles. Not a book for using up odd bits of knitting yarn! Here is a list of the materials etc to make the Wrapped Cardigan on the cover:-
Yarn. Doucer et Soie by Knit One, Crochet Too, .88oz/25g (approx 225yds/205m) mohair/silk 1 ball in #840 in light yellow (A) Richesse et Soie, .88oz/25g (approx 145yds/132m) cashmere/silk 1 ball in #940 light yellow (B) Needles Size 2 (2.5mm) needles or size needed to obtain gauge Note Work with 1 strand each of A and B held tog throughout Gauge 7sts and 9 rows to 1" over St st using size 2 (2.5mm) needles and 1 strand A and B held tog. GOOD LUCK!

Wonderful Knits for Barbie,
By Krysta Bauer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Knits for Barbie Doll: 75 Fabulous Fashions for Knitting (Hardcover)
I just got this book a few days ago and I am in love with it. The projects are georgeous and both the young person and an older collector will love the patterns. The designs are on small needles, with small yarns, but still work up quickly due to their size. I am just about finished with a sweater and have spent maybe two hours on it. This book also contains a lot of accessories and some designs to decorate Barbie's home with. A must have for any knitter who is a Barbie lover, who knows a Barbie lover, or has kids that are Barbie lovers. I can't wait to make more projects.

A Great Barbie Knitting Book!,
By Dorothy R. Reade "Brickroaddenizen" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Knits for Barbie Doll: 75 Fabulous Fashions for Knitting (Hardcover)
My interest in creating Barbie clothes began with the desire to sew matching granddaughter/Barbie nightgowns. However, I am in a caregiving situation in which there is not always time to set up the necessary sewing equipment. Knitting for Barbie is the ideal solution - very portable and easy to put down at a moment's notice. The book is very exciting with all the many items that can be knitted - even matching purses! I am an average once-in-a-while knitter and find the projects within my abilities and the directions clear. I found the suggested knitting materials online, but decided to use easier-to-find and less costly baby and sport yarn on sale at local stores. It certainly won't matter to the young girls who will be dressing their Barbies! I am enjoying creating these tiny fashions as much as I hope my granddaughters will enjoy playing with them! 20 of 20 people found the following review helpful:

Tons of fun!,
By S. Chae - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Knits for Barbie Doll: 75 Fabulous Fashions for Knitting (Paperback)
This is a great knitting book. I'm a beginning/intermediate level knitter, and I found this book to be a great practice book before my first attempt to make a human-size sweater. Most projects can be completed in several hours - one day at the longest. I never got bored with it ;)
The book is also very clear and easy to use. I never had to look up additional information from other books -When a project requires an intermediate level stitch (that is stitces beyond basic knit/purl, binding off, casting on, and increasing/decreasing) you can always find a short tutorial about that sitch on the same page. I'm also happy that I got to use up my leftover yarns. |
