I received this book as a gift. I had it on my wish list based on reviews. In my opinion it is not worth the money. You can do the same by drawing boxy shapes on graph paper. Make one square equal one stitch. I think it would have helped if there were more instructions and perhaps some ideas for alterations. I did not like this book. I think I was expecting something different. It would help if this was one of items that you could see sample pages from. If I had been able to pre-view the sample pages, I never would have placed it on my wish list.Fashion Doll Knitting Graphs
