Why You'll Love This Doll Cruella Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it brings so many delightful details into a single small doll. I enjoy designing two-toned hair effects and tiny accessories that add personality. I love that the dress, shoes and bag are all crocheted to scale, letting you create a complete outfit. I also love seeing how different yarn colors and finishes completely change the doll's expression and style.

Switch Things Up

I love how many ways you can customize this pattern; try swapping the red dress for pastel colors to give the doll a softer look.

You can change yarn weight and hook size to make a mini keychain version or a larger display doll—just remember stitch counts will change the final size.

I often embroider different facial expressions or eyebrow shapes to vary personality; the eye placement and nose stitch can change the mood dramatically.

For a vintage look, use muted yarn shades and replace safety eyes with embroidered eyes; for a playful style, add tiny crochet bows or buttons.

I sometimes add removable tiny accessories like hats or scarves using small chains and buttons to make outfits interchangeable.

If you want extra stability, I insert wire into the legs and glue the insole more firmly so the doll stands upright on display.

You can ornament the bag and choker with beads or tiny sequins to add sparkle and detail; black beads are recommended for the bag in the pattern.

Try faux fur trims in different lengths on the dress hem for varied texture; Mink yarn works well for a fluffy finish.

I also like to experiment with hair styles: braid the ponytails or make shorter bangs for a modern twist.

Finally, consider making a whole set—sew matching outfits for a family of dolls using the same basic body pattern but changing colors and accessories for each one.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the stuffing step during rounds; stuff little by little as you crochet to avoid lumps and to keep the shape smooth. ✗ Forgetting to insert the safety eyes at the recommended rows causing misplacement; insert eyes between rows 21-22 with 13 sc between for correct positioning. ✗ Not changing color or working BLO/FLO where instructed will alter shaping and appearance; follow color change and BLO/FLO notes precisely for correct shoe and sock shaping. ✗ Not leaving long tails for sewing and assembly will make attachment difficult; leave and secure long yarn tails for each piece that needs sewing. ✗ Working with inconsistent tension when doing increases and decreases leads to uneven rows and shape; maintain steady tension and count stitches frequently to stay on track.

Assembly Instructions

  • Insert the safety eyes between rows 21-22 on the head, spacing them 13 single crochet stitches apart, then secure and weave ends before stuffing the head fully.
  • Sew the hair pieces and bangs onto the head: position the two main hair details (black and white) and sew along the rim to match photos, leaving ponytails and bangs to be attached with long tails for placement.
  • Attach the ears to the head using the long tails, spacing symmetrically at the top sides of the head and hiding ends inside the head.
  • Prepare and glue the cardboard or plastic insoles into the shoes after crocheting the fifth row, then sew shoes to the ends of the legs ensuring the center loops align with the leg center.
  • Join legs into the body by chaining from the right leg to the left leg as described in round 40, then work around to create the body tube; sew arms to the body at the indicated rounds and insert wire frames into legs/hands if desired for posability.

Important Notes

  • 💡Stuff pieces gradually while crocheting to keep consistent shape; do not overstuff the head or limbs.
  • 💡Use stitch markers and count stitches after each round to avoid mistakes during increases and decreases.
  • 💡Leave long tails for sewing on each piece that will be attached later to make assembly easier and secure.
  • 💡When using wire for posable limbs, wrap the wire with adhesive plaster before inserting to protect the yarn and stuffing.
  • 💡Follow BLO and FLO instructions exactly for shoe and sock shaping to achieve the intended look.
