Fun-to-Knit Doll Clothes: New pattern book from HWB
BERNE, Ind.—DRG, leader in the craft and nostalgia markets and nationally-known publisher of special-interest magazines and books, recently released a knitting pattern book of doll clothing designs under its popular House of White Birches brand.
Fun-to-Knit Doll Clothes is a full-color publication that includes wardrobe items designed to fit an 18-inch doll. The book is 48 pages and retails for $9.95.

The book offers fully illustrated basic knitting instructions, along with row-by-row directions for each knitted item. Patterns are written at the easy through intermediate skill levels.
