Well, I've done the back and 2 fronts of the doll's jacket in my own version of the super-fiddling pattern, just a seed stitch border and then garter stitch, and to me it looks a lot nicer than the picture on the pattern! Did it in a Sirdar Snuggly - white with little pale blue and green flecks.
Only the sleeves, front borders, collar, trousers, hat and bootees to go!
