With the right needles, hooks, yarns, and this book, you can create dozens of exquisite items for your dollhouse that take almost no time at all to complete. Rosemary Drysdale's extensive collection of 40 Lilliputian-size projects contains designs that are easy to execute, require very little yarn, thread, or floss, and are available nowhere else. Full crochet and knitting instructions are clearly detailed in an easy-to-follow format. Helpful photographs of the completed piece accompany each project to guide you in your work, in addition to instructional diagrams which explain techniques and stitch variations. An added feature — totally unique to this publication — is the special section on switchable yarns that tells you which yarns and flosses are interchangeable. Here are just some of the lovely dollhouse miniatures that you can make: Lacy Tablecloth; Welcome Mat; Ecru Doilies; Shell Bedspread; Oval Dining Room Rug; Lace Curtains; Bolster Pillows; Table Runner; Gingham Kitchen Set; Floor Pillow; Double Drapes; Granny's Kitchen Mat; Granny Square; Afghan Canopy; Bed Set; Scatter Rugs. Specific colors are listed for each project, but the colors are only suggestions. Use your imagination to create color schemes that will best enhance your dollhouse and its furnishings. Review: informative and well laid out - Very cute book of patterns. I especially like the table at the end which explains some yarn substitutions in case you can't find a particular yarn. Review: Good book - Good condition, very useful

It's a Very Good Start
I learned so much about how to hold the threads and keep it moving and counting and using the stitch markers, that the experience alone is worth what I paid for it on the kindle. The knitting section seems daunting, but if you go along, line by line, it's not that hard, at all. If you're interested in trying out miniature knitting or crochet, this is a good place to start. There are even sections with basic instructions on how to knit and crochet.

Truly a 1:12 Scale Book
This book was really fun and well written . I have completed a couple projects for dollhouse.

Very dated book
This book was written in the early 80s, and it shows its age badly. Most of the designs, IMHO, are not cute, and there is only one I'd want to create for my dollhouse. If you are looking to style a farmhouse-type dollhouse, maybe it would work better. I just know I was pretty disappointed with the offerings in the book.

Great for playing with
I found this perfect for those who want to play with their doll house. Others who make this a hobby and putting their doll house on display and don't touch will want something more special . I still like to play with my great grand children and I say to myself I don't ever want to grow up and be stuffy

Great book!
Lots of options, although I wasn't able to make a single thing because I don't have a magnifying glass yet. Don't start with the first pattern because it's too complicated. Wouldn't suggest using embroidery floss, either - maybe baby wool. The patterns don't say how many strands to use in embroidery floss, so that was the only flaw I had noticed in this book. It's professionally done and beautiful little projects.

Miniature Crocheting and Knitting for Dollhouses
Sehr ausführliche Schritt für Schritt Anleitungen. Einziges Manko für jemanden wie mich (nicht sehr gut in englisch) zu wenige Bilder an die man sich beim Bastel orientieren könne.

Not what I was hoping for but there are a few good patterns. I found it hard to find the knitting needle size ask for to make the knitting patterns up. Does give diagrams on how to knit and crochet for first timers though which was a bonus as I hadn't knit in years so was a good refresher for me.
