"""This one is my absolute favorite book. It is so, so adorable, there are 20 designs in this book and I'm telling you, each one is just as adorable as the other one. I've actually crocheted 15 of the 20 and I plan to do all them at one point. ... And I have not only made 15 from this actual book, I have made them over and over and over and over again.

The book is awesome and full of cute characters. Can't wait to crochet the other dolls."" (Kikalite, crochet blogger, 132K followers on IG)"
