PATTERN RATING:
You get a fantastic variety of dolls in this book. I've placed descriptions in parentheses next to each entry in the Table of Contents. Patterns are gridded for easier enlargements - some of the dolls are quite large, and almost all of the patterns need to be enlarged somewhat. I loved the addition of learning dolls - something we seem to have gotten away from as of this writing. Patterns are pretty well marked and include seam allowances, so they'll have to be adjusted as you enlarge the patterns.
INSTRUCTION RATING: The instructions are well broken down into easy steps, will good illustration to support them. I think anyone who knows the basics could follow any of these instructions without any problems.
