Comments: I will NEVER knit these again...nor any other doll's clothes!
So, I did manage the crochet edging using my copy of Happy Hooker and I have to say that this edging is very easy and really finishes the pieces off. I won't be so afraid of my crochet hook in future. The ribbons also tie everything in together.
All in all, I was really pleased with the items and was very pleased to wrap them up and gift them to a very happy 4 year old! BUT NEVER AGAIN!! You can hold me to that!

Oh they are sweet little things - at least small stuff is good practice knitting/crocheting
Oh, they are just darling. Your mom will be so pleased.
Only now do I appreciate the pain my Grandma went though to provide me with knitted doll and even worse Barbie clothes.
I love the little bootees.
They are cute even though you hated knitting them!
They look brilliant! Well done! Especially because you hated knitting them.
But they are so sweet ...
