Review by Library Journal Review

The latest collection of tiny knitted figurines from prolific designer Keen (Topsy-Turvy Knitted Dolls) features a variety of customizable six-inch dolls well suited to creative play or decoration. Included are holiday-themed figures, such as Santa Claus, a variety of athletes, including tennis and soccer players, professionals (doctor, nurse, artist), a fairy, and a princess. Each doll is made with DK-weight yarn, and knitters can customize skin color, hair color, and clothing as they choose. The dolls are constructed in small sections that are sewn together, and basic knitting skills, such as increasing, decreasing, and seaming, are required-a brief refresher is provided. VERDICT Knitters looking for cute, cheery toys will find plenty of choices here. © Copyright 2018. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
