About This Cruella Doll Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern teaches you how to crochet a stylized Cruella-inspired doll complete with hair details, a red dress with faux-fur hem, sneakers, a small bag and a tiny dalmatian toy. The pattern is worked mostly in continuous rounds using a 2.0 mm hook and baby cotton yarn. Detailed photo examples and stitch counts for every round make assembly and finishing clear and manageable.

Why You'll Love This Cruella Doll Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it brings a lot of personality into a small amigurumi form; each hair detail and accessory adds character that really pops. I enjoy the challenge of combining simple rounds into expressive shapes, and this pattern balances that perfectly. I also love how interchangeable the pieces are β€” you can change colors or trim to make a completely new look. It was designed to be satisfying to crochet while still being achievable for crocheters who want to develop their skills.

Switch Things Up

I love how this pattern can be customized in so many ways: change the hair colors and create a whole new character who wears the same dress style.

You can use a thicker yarn and larger hook to make a chunky, cuddly version, or use lace-weight yarn and a finer hook for a tiny, delicate mini doll.

I often swap the red dress for pastels or stripes to match seasonsβ€”try a green dress for spring or navy for a classic look.

For a different vibe, replace the mink trim with a simple single crochet edging or use metallic thread for a sparkly hem.

Swap out the safety eyes for embroidered eyes if you prefer a softer, child-safe face; this also changes the expression beautifully.

Try embroidering freckles or a different nose shape to give each doll a unique personality and expression.

Add tiny crocheted accessories like a scarf, hat, or different handbag styles to expand the pretend-play value of the doll.

If you want posable limbs, I recommend inserting the recommended wire into the legs and hands while crocheting and securing it with adhesive plaster for safety.

I also like adding beaded details to the choker or bag for texture; black seed beads give a great polished accent.

Finally, experiment with facial placement: moving the eyes slightly up or down and shifting nose placement will dramatically change the doll's look, so pin pieces before final sewing.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

βœ— Skipping stitch markers during continuous rounds leads to losing track of the start point; place a stitch marker at the first stitch and move it each round to maintain correct stitch counts. βœ— Forgetting to stuff as you go causes awkward shaping and lumps; stuff gradually during shaping rounds and add small amounts until you achieve a smooth, even form. βœ— Pulling increases or decreases too tight distorts the silhouette; use consistent, relaxed tension and ensure increases/decays sit flat without bunching. βœ— Not inserting the wire frame correctly into the leg or hand makes posability difficult; insert and secure the wire frame while crocheting those pieces and test fit before finishing seams.

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert safety eyes between rows 21-22 of the head, placing them 13 single crochet stitches apart and secure according to eye manufacturers' instructions before stuffing the head.
  • Attach the hair pieces, bangs and ponytails to the head arranging black and white details symmetrically; sew each piece securely and hide tails inside the head.
  • Sew ears to the sides of the head using the long tails, positioning them about 6-8 stitches from the hairline and adjust for symmetry before final stitching.
  • Join the legs and crochet the body starting at round 40 by attaching the right leg chain to the left leg, then work evenly around both legs to form the body tube; stuff as you go.
  • Position and sew the arms to the body at the indicated rounds (after round 58) and insert the wire frame into the arms before closing for added stability.
  • Glue the prepared insoles into the shoes (after crocheting the fifth row of the sole) and sew or glue the bag strap around the doll's shoulder; add black beads to the bag and choker as final embellishments.

Important Notes

  • πŸ’‘Use stitch markers to mark the beginning of each round when working in continuous rounds, especially after color changes and shaping rounds.
  • πŸ’‘Stuff gradually during shaping to avoid overfilling which can distort your amigurumi; add small amounts of fiberfill until you achieve the intended shape.
  • πŸ’‘If you want posable legs or arms, insert the recommended wire frame during crocheting and secure the ends with adhesive plaster to protect yarn and stuffing.
  • πŸ’‘Change colors cleanly and weave in ends inside the work as you go to keep finishing tidy and reduce bulk under clothing pieces.

This delightful Cruella-inspired doll pattern brings playful character and accessory details to your crochet collection. It's a fun, detailed project perfect for gifting or display with a tiny dalmatian companion. Make yours today and enjoy the process of bringing this little friend to life. 🧢🧡
