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.Most patterns use written-out instructions; a few patterns include simple charts for easy Fair Isle or textured design elements (e.g., "Winter Wonderland" (Fair Isle jacket); "Fairy Tale Blanket" (textured turreted castle knitted-in using reverse stockinette on stockinette)' "Skullduggery" (skull motif); "Modern Masterpiece" (Fair Isle yoke)). The patterns appear simple to knit, without much shaping, so most should be easy enough for an advanced beginner to knit.The book has full-color photographs of each design (modeled by a doll in a theme setting); and the Table of Contents is a photo gallery that illustrates the entire pattern collection. Although the patterns aren't as varied or inspired as I'd hoped they'd be, NICKY EPSTEIN KNITS FOR DOLLS provides good value for the price (currently about $14). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BUY IT! BUY IT! BUY IT! *by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2014* This book has the CUTEST patterns! I am a beginning knitter, and I thought this book might give me a chance to learn different techniques on smaller pieces - e.g. less frustration; quicker results. The patterns run from simple to advanced and offer good tips and instruction on doing the different stitches, so it's sort of like taking a course. My more advanced knitting friends were enchanted, and we all picked the skater outfit as our favorite! However, few of us knew how to do charts, so while the book is good for beginners, it's also good to stretch more experienced knitters.However, BE WARNED...if you buy this book, it will eventually be very costly!! Here's why: I thought I would just learn to knit using this book. Then I realized I would want to try the clothes on a doll - DUH! I haven't had a doll in 50 years! So, of course, I had to have a doll. I'd known about the American Girl Dolls, and I thought I'd get one of them. When I started googling dolls, I remembered the Sasha dolls from the 60's. They were gorgeous. That led me to the German Gotz dolls. They were even better than Sasha or AG dolls. So, I bought one - it was a little more expensive than the AG dolls, but now, she needs shoes, other clothes, maybe furniture, etc. See what I mean?In my "research" on dolls, I've learned about the AG size and the "slim body" dolls. Mine is a slim body, so these clothes should fit, since I usually crochet and knit tighter, but be forewarned about the size differences. It would be nice if this info were given in this book, but you can Google "doll clothes patterns" to find a blog that shows how to measure dolls to get the best fit for each body type. Then you'll be all set to knit away. Enjoy! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Disappointing *by P***F on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2013* The photos and ideas for the projects are great but I was disappointed with this book. The most popular 18" doll is American Girl but the doll used for the book was a Madame Alexander doll. This doll is 1" smaller in the hips and shoulders so if you knit the patterns as is some of the clothes do NOT fit the American Girl doll.Five women in my knitting group bought the book and we've started knitting some of the outfits. We've discovered errors in some of the patterns. Don't know how many more we'll discover as we work our way through the book. Went to the publisher's website and discovered some of the errors had been posted. I emailed them about another error and that has been posted as well.Visiting the publisher's website is an eye opener. Their page of corrections to patterns in their books is incredible. Can't believe they publish books without testing the patterns from the "proof" or whatever it is called before publication.Another comment from my knitting group is about the yarns used in some of the outfits. We would prefer a yarn type or weight be listed as opposed to a specific yarn especially if it is a specialty yarn. It would be easier to substitute if you wanted to as some of the yarns are quite expensive. Fine if you are knitting a project for yourself but not exactly suitable to make for a child to play with. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/2387494-nicky-epstein-knits-for-dolls-25-fun-fabulous-outfits-18](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/2387494-nicky-epstein-knits-for-dolls-25-fun-fabulous-outfits-18) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-06-11*
