PATTERN RATING:Star Rating Patterns are for pretty primitive dolls, with mitten hands and stump feet - if it's not a stump doll. There is a wide variety if you like this style. Patterns have minimal markings without grainline or seam allowances. Some tell you whether you need to enlarge on the pattern piece(and give you a percentile), but most don't, and they are not gridded.

INSTRUCTION RATING:Star Rating Instructions are broken down by body part into paragraph chunks, with little to no illustration to guide the crafter. Despite the primitive patterns, I don't recommend this book to beginners.

SUMMARY- I admit I wasn't taken with the style of these patterns, which I think of as sort of "Country Rustic," but your mileage may vary. She does provide a nice variety of this style along with a few accessory projects that look nice.
