The 25 Prettiest Crochet Doll Patterns

Rubeina Sheik Hossen  - June 16, 2021

I don't know any little girl who does not like dolls. I used to love and cherish the ones I had so much when I was a kid - that was many, many years ago -, and the doll that I liked to dress and pamper the most was a rag doll. Why? Because she was soft and easy to dress without having to remove her arms or head. You know what I am talking about. The first time my plastic doll had her arm pop out while putting on her dress, I freaked out. And just like rag dolls, crochet dolls also make great replacements to avoid these "accidents".

But you don't necessarily need to be a little girl to like crochet dolls. They are perfect gifts for women and men of every age. Crochet dolls are easy to customise, so you can practically make a crochet version of anyone, including friends and family. You can choose to make a big crochet doll or a miniature one, change the hair to your favourite colour, crochet tons of different outfits and accessories. Our team at Derpy Monster has put together a list of the cutest crochet dolls that we could find for you to pick from. We guarantee that you will enjoy making them as much as we did.
