From Library Journal
Epstein's Knits for Barbie Doll was immensely popular with collectors of Barbie doll but left out those Barbie owners and costumers who prefer crochet to knitting. In the hands of a lesser designer, a doll's wardrobe in crochet might have been a disaster, since crocheted garments tend to be more bulky than knitted ones. Fortunately, Epstein picked fine yarns crocheted with a small hook. The enticing designs that result have a Sixties flair. There are 75 designs a few are for Barbie's boyfriend, Ken including a camel coat, a granny striped poncho, and a gorgeous wedding gown, as well as assorted accessories and props such as hats, purses, pillows, and afghans. Recommended for all public libraries.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Crochet for Barbie Doll: 75 Delightful Creations to Crochet (Hardcover) I was truly delighted to find a book of tasteful fashions for Barbie. The old crochet patterns are usually full of bushy or frumpy outfits using bulky yarn. Hurray for Nicky Epstein! The only problem I had was finding the yarn in a basic craft store. As soon as I stepped into an embroidery or needlepoint store I found many possibilities. Well stocked yarn shops also have a variety of "strings" and thinner yarns.
