Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this pattern by switching yarn colors for a whole new personality; try pastel shades for a soft look or bold contrasts for a statement doll.

I often change yarn weight and hook size to create different sizes — use bulky yarn for a chunky cuddly version or a thinner thread for a tiny keychain-sized doll.

I sometimes replace safety eyes with embroidered eyes or felt pieces for a more child-safe toy, and I adjust the placement slightly to change expression.

Try adding wire inside the limbs for posability; I wrap a thin layer of tape around the wire before inserting to protect the stuffing and yarn.

For the dress, experiment with different hem trims — faux fur, picot edge or a lacy border each give a unique finish.

I like to embellish the bag and choker with small beads, sequins or tiny buttons to add texture and sparkle.

Switch the shoe color or make ankle boots by extending the black shoe rounds up the leg for a different style.

Embroider freckles, eyebrows or a tiny blush highlight to change the doll's personality—small changes make the face come alive.

For a holiday version, change the dress color and add seasonal accessories like a tiny Santa hat or a scarf — these small swaps create collectible sets.

I also enjoy making a whole family by varying yarn weight and eye sizes; keep the same basic pattern but change scale and accessories to build a charming collection.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not inserting safety eyes at the correct row height can make the face look unbalanced; place the eyes between rows 21-22 and keep 13 sc between them as instructed to ensure symmetry. ✗ Forgetting to stuff gradually will create lumps or misshapen parts; stuff little by little during construction to maintain even shape and firmness. ✗ Skipping stitch counts during increases and decreases causes uneven shaping; count stitches after each round and use stitch markers for the beginning of rounds if needed. ✗ Leaving very short tails after finishing parts makes assembly difficult; leave long tails for sewing so you can attach pieces cleanly and hide threads. ✗ Overtight tension when crocheting small pieces often distorts the shape; aim for consistent, moderate tension and keep your stitches even throughout.

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert and secure safety eyes between rounds 21-22 of the head, spacing them 13 single crochet stitches apart before stuffing the head fully.
  • Attach the head to the body after completing round 67 of the body section, using a long tail and mattress or whip stitch to sew firmly for a smooth neck join.
  • Position and sew the arms to the body where instructed (attach the arms after round 58), inserting the wire frame if used and hiding wires inside the arm before closing.
  • Glue the prepared insoles to the crocheted shoe base after completing the fifth row, then finish crocheting the shoe upper and hide ends.
  • Sew the hairstyle pieces (black and white halves), bang and ponytails to the head, arranging bangs and ears symmetrically and securing with hidden stitches.
  • Attach the bag to the doll by fastening the strap ends to the bag body and sewing or knotting to the shoulder area; add black beads to the bag and choker as decorative details.

Important Notes

  • 💡Insert safety eyes before heavy stuffing to ensure correct placement and avoid damage to the finished piece.
  • 💡Stuff gradually and evenly during construction to prevent lumps and keep the amigurumi shape smooth.
  • 💡Leave long yarn tails when finishing pieces intended for sewing to allow secure attachment and easier hiding of ends.
  • 💡Use the recommended Hook No.2 for correct gauge; changing hook size will alter the finished size and fit of clothing and accessories.

This Cruella-inspired doll pattern brings a playful, stylish character to your crochet collection. Create a unique gift or a display piece with detailed hair, dress and tiny accessories. Follow the step-by-step rounds and assembly notes for a polished finish. 🧶🧵✨
