Crochet at Work contains 20 fun, customisable dolls to crochet—you choose the skin and hair colour, hairstyle, gender, and outfit.

Once you've learned the basic principles and techniques involved in crocheting the dolls, you can create any outfit you like.

With comprehensive tools, materials, and techniques sections, illustrated with helpful photographs, beginners will be able to enjoy the projects as much as experienced crocheters.
