This collection of mix and match crochet patterns allows you to make bespoke dolls that represent the special people in your life, ensuring that everyone feels represented and included. Representation matters when it comes to dolls for children, as research has shown that it can have a positive impact on a child's self-esteem. Author and crochet designer, Nathalie Amiel, specializes in creating look-alike dolls that capture the spirit of the individual. In this collection, she has designed a wide range of dolls, as well as their clothes and accessories, for you to use as a jumping-off point for creating your own utterly unique dolls.

None of the patterns have recommendations for yarn colors, so you are free to pick your own colors for hair and skin type. There are patterns for a variety of different hair types and styles. Nathalie has designed a pattern for a Down syndrome doll, a doll with vitiligo, a doll with prosthetic limbs, crutches, leg braces, hearing aids, feeding tubes, and eyeglasses. The collection also includes crochet patterns for a wheelchair, assistance dogs, and a special teddy bear.

Step-by-step instructions and photographs are provided for making the basic doll, which can then be adapted using the other patterns. You can then choose the doll's clothing from the crochet clothing patterns, with a wide variety of different garments to suit every doll, including underwear, t-shirts, pinafores, and more.

By using these crochet patterns, you can create dolls that reflect the diversity of the world around us, promoting inclusivity and understanding for all children. So, why not get started on your own crochet doll project today and make a doll that represents someone special in your life?
