Although I'm a longtime fan of well-known knitting designer Nicky Epstein, I was a little disappointed by NICKY EPSTEIN KNITS FOR DOLLS. The outfits are cute, but are mostly for dolls' everyday wear (dresses, sweaters, shrugs, coats, bags, fanciful hats). I was expecting more themed-costume designs, for activities like horseback riding, ballet dancing, gymnastics, cooking, role-playing, etc. Of course, there is a "royal princess" costume ("All That Glitters"), an ice-skating/skiing costume ("Winter Wonderland"), and a "tennis" costume ("Perfect Match") consisting of leggings with hoodie (not a short-skirted tennis dress).
My personal favorites are: (1) "Skullduggery" (a black pullover with a big skull-and-crossbones on the front, a red ribbed turtleneck, and striped sleeves and hem); (2) "Winter Wonderland" (an ice-skating pants suit with a pretty blue-and-white Fair Isle design on the hooded, fur-trimmed jacket); (3) "Ruffles and Roses" (a party dress with a three-tiered skirt in shades of pink attached to a rose-embroidered top, completed with a matching basket-of-roses handbag); and (4) "Mirror, Mirror" (a lavender top and long skirt, both decorated with a diamond pattern formed from tiny, knitted-in beads).
These patterns are designed for 18" dolls. Many of the patterns call for sportweight, DK weight, or fingering weight yarns, and for US 3 needles. Some designs call for US 6 or 7 needles. However, because these are doll clothes, the average gauge is around 6-8 stitches to the inch. A notable exception is the lovely but challenging "Mirror, Mirror" design with its tiny beads, which is knit on a US 0 circular, at a gauge of 10.5 stitches to the inch.
