5 out of 5 starsEasy to follow pattern instructions. Would recommend.
Dear Betty,
I purchased your “My little crochet doll” pattern after I saw the the picture of your doll with short hair scalp - just what I needed for my self/me doll I was crocheting. This is the third Amigurumi doll I tried making using pattern I try to create. Your pattern is brilliant and well written. At the moment I only used your pattern to create the scalp and the ears. Both I wouldn’t have bothered to try if I hadn’t seen your doll. It really motivated me. Thank you so much and wishing you all the best with all your projects. I would highly recommend your pattern to anyone. -
