Lulu's Crochet Dolls

Lulu's Crochet Dolls: 8 adorable dolls and accessories to crochet
Search Press Limited, 2024. 111 pages. Craft Books.

Step into the enchanting world of Lulu Compotine! Journey through the seasons with 8 charming amigurumi dolls. Each has a lovable animal friend, and perfect seasonal outfits and accessories. From Charlotte and Caroline's blooming spring flowers to Celia and Zoé's wintertime treats, you'll fall in love with these adorable 23 cm (9 in) dolls and their crochet accoutrements. For beginners and beyond!

If you're anything like me and love making cute crochet projects, this is the book for you!  The dolls in this book are adorable, and their accessories even more so!  The instructions are easy to understand and follow, and each doll has its own personality already built in.  These particular dolls are not built to play dress-up, as the clothing is sewn and/or crocheted into the body, but they are oh so lovely and worth the time and effort it will take to make them! Some accessories are repeated from doll to doll, also, which makes it easier to make multiples.  You won't regret giving these patterns a try!
