U.K. crafter-author Button shows readers how to needlecraft dollhouse-size dogs using only wool, needles, and a bit of polymer clay for eyes and noses. Offering six popular dog breeds, Button suggests starting with the cocker spaniel and working up to the pug, with the Labrador retriever, shih tzu, border terrier, and standard poodle in between. Remarkably lifelike though teeny-tiny, each project features detailed instructions, including templates and step-by-step needling diagrams as well as standard guidance in the form of colour photographs, a list of materials, and so on. Thorough upfront materials define terminology like neps and rolags, instruct readers mixing colours of wool, and offer common-sense tips (such as "buy extra needles"). Two paws up for these canine likenesses.
