I have not seen the book before but I have a feeling that is is tunisian crochet, very easy and addictive! here is a link to free tutorials to see if it is something you like. http://www.nexstitch.com/v_Tutorials.html

Have you checked out Crochetpatterncentral.com? I always check there first! There are tons of doll clothes patterns there(see sources). If you see something you like but it’s not the right size you can probably adjust the pattern to make it work. Let me know if you need help doing that.Check out this thread on Crochetville, too, there was a whole discussion about doll clothes for 18″ dolls:http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=41666

I do all of them plus cross stitch, sewing, quilting. As long as I have a project, regardless of what “art” form I’m good. I’ve never heard of entraloc before. Gonna have to search up on it.

I think it’s a matter of opinion. I prefer to knit, but it is true that crochet is more forgiving. And for a beginner the fact you only have to deal with one needle rather than two would be a plus I’m sure!

I knit ugly sweaters for my grandchildren for Christmas for the sole purpose of seeing their disgusted faces when they get them.

Yes, but you really cannot do it yourself. Look in the phone book or on line for a reweaver. Some dry cleaners have people who are skilled at doing this as well. They literally reweave the holes right out of the sweater. I inherited some rather expensive, beautiful, antique sweaters that all were worth restoration. Some of the newer cashmere isn’t worth it,however. The reweavers will tell you whether it is.

you know what, instead of a book i would recommend http://www.knittinghelp.com because they have great videos to get you started (and to keep you going, for that matter). For materials, I would recommend the cheapest yarn you can find at Walmart, which is Red Heart Super Saver. Get it in worsted weight (the one with a big 4 on the back), most of it is, so it shouldn’t be hard to find. For needles I recommend a size 10 or 10 1/2, its a good size for learning. See if you can find ones that are made out of bamboo, I don’t think its good to start out with aluminum since they are slippery and heavy, I don’t think Walmart has bamboo, so you might have to settle for plastic. You can find bamboo needles and all of these materials at craft strores like Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Joann Fabrics, and A.C. Moore. Good luck! I hope to see you on knittinghelp.com!

The best suggestion I would make is do a search for ‘knit pattern doll clothes’ or ‘knit pattern toys’ (or substitute the word knit with crochet).You should get hundreds of results, so just start going through them. We can’t give you patterns as your question is too broad – what sort of yarn do you want, how long is the vest supposed to be etc.If you know your knitting tension for different size yarns, you should be able to figure out how many stitches you would need to cast on to make the sweater and then go from there – doll’s clothes etc don’t take long to do. However I would think that crochet would be easiest as you can easily check the width against your cast on chain and then proceed up using any variety of stitches across the rows until you get the length you need to the underarm, then just make straps across the shoulders and maybe a few extra rows across the back.Hope this helps. Good luck.

Crocheting is much easier and faster. Only 1 hook. I would buy a how to book and start with a pattern in there. It will tell you what you need for yarn and the size hook you will need. Some craft stores also sell how to kits that come with all necessary materials.
