My Pretty Brown Doll

Product Description

The first pattern book for making unique, customizable African American crochet dolls

From American Girl Dolls to Barbie, there's something special about having your own doll, and even more so, having a doll that looks like you. And it’s not just about clothing; having a doll that has eyes, skin tone, and even a hairstyle to match your own is a thrill. For African American girls, this isn't the norm nor is it easy to find. Created by Yolanda Jordan, My Pretty Brown Doll offers patterns and crochet techniques to create this charming crochet doll, with skin tone, hairstyle, eyes, and outfits that are customizable to match the young person this gift is for. Jordan’s unique aesthetic will appeal to a wide variety of crocheters, and there are endless possibilities to make this doll unique.

The book covers a basic wardrobe, including pants, shirts, shoes, coats, a hat, and a scarf. But then Jordan dives into specific adventures like going to school and playing soccer, dancing ballet and traveling to Paris. There's even a mermaid and a scientist outfit, complete with lab coat. Offering African American girls the chance to have their own doll, who looks like them and can be outfitted exactly the way they want, is a gift unlike any other.

Camille Rendal

"Wonderful little shop! I started knitting again after a year when I thought I’d never pick it up again . And the staff at cowgirl yarn is the best! They are so kind and encouraging. They go out of their way to help. They have a great selection of fiber, tools, needles everything you need. They are priced well. It’s a place where I feel welcome and encouraged to do my best and be myself."
