Crochet Doll From Your Drawing - Turn a Child Drawing Into a Handmade Toy
Original price was: $78.50.$69.90Current price is: $69.90.
Send us a drawing and we crochet the character in it. Shape, colours and the small odd details children insist on are all kept. About 26 cm tall, 100% cotton.
- The real colour of the item may be slightly different from the pictures shown on the website.
- Dimensions of handmade products may vary by 1-2 cm.
Children invent characters that nobody sells in a shop. A crochet doll from drawing takes the one on the fridge door and makes it real - the pink dress, the crooked smile, the ears that are far too long on purpose.
- Made from the drawing itself - we follow the shapes and colours as they were drawn.
- About 26 cm tall, soft and safe to play with.
- 100% cotton yarn with hypoallergenic polyester filling.
- Embroidered face so it is safe for younger children.
- The drawing comes back to you in the parcel if you post us the original.
How a crochet doll from drawing is made
- Photograph the drawing in good light, flat on a table, and send it to us.
- Tell us what matters. Children are particular - if the hat must be yellow and the tail must be stripy, say so.
- We sketch the pattern from the drawing and check the plan with you before we start.
- We crochet it over five to ten working days and send photos as it takes shape.
What we can and cannot do: crochet is good at round shapes, limbs, ears, dresses and bold colour. It struggles with fine printed detail and very thin lines. We will tell you before you pay if part of a drawing needs simplifying, and show you how we plan to handle it.

Caring for a crochet doll from drawing
Hand wash in cool water with a mild soap, press the water out with a towel, reshape and air dry. Children carry these everywhere, so expect to wash it - cotton copes well. See the amigurumi care guide.
What children do when they see it
The reaction to a crochet doll from drawing is different from the reaction to any other present. There is usually a pause, because the character has only ever existed on paper, and then the child checks the details - the hat, the tail, the number of buttons - against the picture in their head.
That is why we keep the odd proportions rather than tidying them up. A crochet doll from drawing is supposed to look like the drawing, not like a shop toy.
What we send back
The parcel contains the finished doll and, if you posted us the original artwork, the drawing itself, flattened between card so that it arrives uncreased. We also include a printed copy of the drawing at postcard size, because most people end up standing the crochet doll from drawing next to the picture it came from.
Questions people ask
Does a crochet doll from drawing have to come from a child?
Not at all. We have worked from adult sketches, tattoo designs and logos. Send what you have.
What if the drawing has no back view?
We will ask what you would like on the back, or make a sensible choice and show you before finishing.
Can you make two of the same character?
Yes, and it is cheaper as a pair - message us for a quote.
Is it a toy or a keepsake?
Both. The face is embroidered and there are no small parts, so it can be played with.
