This endearing book is a unique treasure for its delightful story,
charming illustrations, comical characters, abundance of nostalgia,
and practical instruction that introduces children to the world of
knitting and crocheting in a gentle and encouraging way while
providing a wardrobe of knitwear for dolls.
Enjoy the adventures of Mary Frances as the crochet hook,
knitting needles and yarn come to life, ready and anxious to teach
her to knit and crochet. You will meet Crow Shay, Knit and Knack,
Wooley Ball, Yarn Baby and a beautiful fairy as they take you
though a series of lessons in a book that loves to be read aloud
while teaching new skills in storybook format.
Children will love the quaint language and captivating storyline
alone, and by following along with the projects, they will be
rewarded with needlework skills and a lovely collection of clothing
for 14- to 18-inch dolls. Adults and doll collectors will
appreciate the historical authenticity of the early 1900's knitwear
patterns.
More than forty needlework projects are provided including doll
hats, scarves, sweaters, shawls, a petticoat, leggings and more.
Styles in knitwear are timeless fashion pieces. These projects can
be used to create authentic period attire, or updated through the
use of contemporary colors and accents. Modern girls can make their
dolls look trendy by combining a piece of vintage knitwear with
fashion-forward accessories. Black and white illustrations are
featured on every page along with color cover illustrations.
