My Pretty Brown Doll illustrated by Matt Phelan They all keep their housesMy Pretty Brown Doll is the first pattern book for making unique, customizable African American crochet dolls. From American Girl Dolls to Barbie, theres something special about having your own doll, and even more so, having a doll that looks like you. And its 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 isnt the norm nor is it easy to find.
