Note.—The garments described in this book will fit 12- to 16-inch dolls.
It is impossible to give exact measurements, because few people crochet and knit with exactly the same “tension.”
In making garments for other than 12- to 16-inch doll it would be best to cut a paper pattern to fit the doll, and make the garments fit the pattern, following as far as possible the directions given in this book.
Important.—In order to learn to crochet and knit, the beginner should follow the directions, and make the garments, in the order given in the story part of the book.
Do not try to understand the directions before doing the work. Learn one new thing at a time doing exactly as told. Advance step by step.
In these directions woolen yarns are used, but mercerized cotton yarns may be used in their place with good results.
