Some gifts are nice. A personalized portrait doll is the one that gets put on the shelf and kept. You send us a photo, we crochet the person in it - their hair, their favourite jumper, the glasses they never take off - and a small cotton version of them arrives at your door.
- Made from your photo - face, hair colour and outfit matched by hand.
- About 32 cm tall, soft enough to hug and sturdy enough to stand on a shelf.
- 100% cotton yarn with hypoallergenic polyester filling.
- Crocheted one at a time in our studio in Vietnam - no factory, no moulds.
- Ships worldwide with tracking.
How your personalized portrait doll is made
- Send us your photo. One clear picture of the face and one showing the full outfit works best. Message us here or on Messenger.
- Tell us the details a photo cannot show. Eye colour, hair colour, curls, glasses, dimples, a favourite shirt. The more you tell us, the closer the doll gets.
- We crochet the doll. Five to ten working days, stitch by stitch, with photos sent to you before it is packed.
- It ships to you in protective wrapping with a tracking number.
Honest about likeness: a crochet doll is not a photograph. We aim for a recognisable, affectionate likeness - the hair, the colours, the shape of the face - and that is what our customers send back pictures of. A 100% identical copy is not possible in yarn, and we would rather say so before you order.
Who it is for
This doll works as a personalized gift for a birthday, a wedding, a retirement or a graduation. It is a thoughtful gift for her or gift for him when the person already owns everything, and a gentle keepsake of a grandparent or a parent. Customers have ordered portrait dolls of nurses, teachers, cyclists and new mums.

Looking after your doll
Hand wash in cool water with a mild soap. Press the water out with a towel rather than wringing, reshape the limbs and head, then let the doll air dry completely. Keep it away from direct sunlight so the cotton colours stay bright. There is more advice in our amigurumi care guide.
Why a personalized portrait doll works when nothing else does
By a certain age most people own what they need. A personalized portrait doll is not useful, and that is exactly why it lands: somebody looked at a photograph of them for a week and turned it into yarn.
It travels well too. A personalized portrait doll weighs very little, survives the post and fits on a desk at work or a shelf at home. We have sent them to retirement parties, hospital bedsides, graduations and fiftieth birthdays, and the message that comes back is almost always the same - they recognised themselves straight away.
Questions people ask
How many photos do you need for a personalized portrait doll?
Two is ideal: one of the face and one of the whole outfit. Photos do not always show colour accurately, so tell us the colours in words as well.
Can you make a doll of someone who has passed away?
Yes. We make a number of memory dolls each year and we take that work seriously. Send any photo you have and tell us what mattered about how they looked.
Can I order two dolls as a set?
Yes - see our Mini Me couple doll set, or message us for a group of three or more.
Is it safe for a small child?
A personalized portrait doll is a keepsake rather than a baby toy. For babies, choose from our handmade rattles instead.
