    Put any four patterns in your cart and the lowest-priced one is taken off at checkout, automatically, with no code. Eight patterns, two free. Twelve, three free. Dolls, outfits, animals, sets and eBooks all count, in any mix.

    Are these patterns for beginners?

    Our patterns only use single crochet, double crochet and a few other basic stitches. If you have never picked up a hook, give yourself a week or two to practice the basics first. With a little experience, you will find them very manageable, and your results improve with every doll.

    Right after checkout you get an email with the PDF files, so you can start straight away. Every pattern also stays in your account on our website, so you can download it again any time.

    Each pattern lists the exact Crochetree colors and amounts, and any other fingering-weight cotton works too. Most dolls have a matching yarn set with every skein you need. See the yarn sets.

    What is your refund policy?

    We have spent thousands of hours developing and refining these patterns, and we think you will love them. Still, if you are not happy with a pattern for any reason within 60 days of purchase, let us know and we refund 100% of your money. No questions asked.

    Beautiful doll

    Love it! The pattern is well-written with lots of details and pictures, the yarn is nice quality and pretty colours, and the doll is just amazing. Love how you do the hair, it makes is so lively!
    If I were to make a suggestion: would you consider selling full doll sets, including thread for the eyes, buttons, wires and whatnot? I found it inconvenient that I had to buy the embroidery thread, even though I needed like 30cm of it, and the rest is now going to lie around my house forever unused. Also didn't know which wire to take for the arms, got some, it turned out too thin, so the arms don't really bend anyway. Not to mention that there is no such thing as "craft stick" in the shops around me, so had to improvise that. Would be a lot more convenient to have it all right there in the set, to exclude this sort of guesswork.
    But still very happy with how this doll turned out, want more different outfits for her now!

    Hi Tatiana, thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you love the doll and the details in the pattern. Your feedback about the hair and other suggestions is truly appreciated and helps us improve. We love to see your finished doll! She's adorable!:star2::u1F9F5:

    LOVE IT!

    I love this yarn. This is my first time trying to make an Amigurumi item. I made all the clothes (love these! easy peasy) and the arms. But I'm having trouble with the soles of the feet. I am an experienced crocheter, and I use a marker. It is just not working out. I have ripped out about 13 times. I think I will move on to the head & body and go back to the feet later.

    Thank you, Toni! We're thrilled that you love the yarn and enjoyed making the clothes and arms for the Melissa Crochet Doll. We're sorry to hear you're having trouble with the soles of the feet. Please feel free to reach out to our support team for assistance—we're here to help. Happy crocheting! 🌸🧶

    Patterns to die for

    I just downloaded the patterns that I purchased on Xmas day or night before. I read through them and they are so detailed and easy for the beginner to understand. Which I have crochet since I was 9 years old,I usually do blankets and granny squares , ,but never tried toys. Dolls etc. I can’t wait to get my yarn I ordered to get started. I will take a picture when done.

    Hi Donna! I'm delighted to read your review! Thank you very much for such thoughtful words! You made my day! Enjoy your patterns and reach out to me should you need any assistance at all!

    My first doll - turned out lovely!

    I was a bit nervous as Melissa was my first doll, but I followed the pattern and she turned out great! Since it was my first time there were a few places where I had to undo and redo bits where I had misunderstood the pattern, but the pictures were so helpful and easy to follow, it all worked out well in the end. Very happy with the result - the eyes are so beautiful. I should probably just stuff a bit more next time...

    Elaine, your first doll journey sounds like such a rewarding experience—mistakes and all! :blush: We’re so proud of you for sticking with it, and thrilled to hear Melissa turned out lovely. Here's to many more dolls and creative adventures ahead! :u1F9F5::sparkling_heart:

    Wonderful Pattern

    I wasn't sure if I would actually manage to follow the pattern as, although I have done crochet work a lot in the past , i am a addictive Knitter. This beautiful doll has me enthralled and everyone who sees the pattern loves her. I now can't wait every day until it is time to sit and work on her a little more, she is not going to take as long as I hoped so I may have to add to the collection , thank you so much ,xx

    Hi Anne! Thank you ever so much for your kindness to take your time to leave a review on our website! I am very pleased to hear you love my pattern! Again, many many thanks! You made my day!
    Warmest regards,
    Ticiana

    Absolutely beautiful. Fell in love with the look of this doll but as I've only made blankets until now, I really didn't think I'd be able to complete this doll. Also being left handed doesn't always mean I do well reading patterns but this was so easy to follow, amazing photos and clear instructions and I am so so pleased with my doll... I still have to do her cardigan but just so over the moon, I couldn't wait to review. I will now be looking to make her a friend and as many more as I can as so enjoyed making her.

    Shellagh, your message is such a beautiful reminder of how creativity finds a way! We’re so proud of you for taking the leap! :muscle::u1F9F6::sparkling_heart:

    This pattern was so easy to follow and so much fun to do! I had a few questions before I started and the seller was very responsive. The pattern is very detailed. I usually struggle with embroidery but her directions were broken down step by step and the eyes came out great with no frustration (much unlike my usual experiences)! I can't wait to make my next one!

    Jess, this truly made our day! We’re so happy the pattern brought you joy and that the step-by-step embroidery helped—it means a lot to hear that :sparkling_heart: Thank you for your kind words and for being part of our crochet family :u1F9F5::blush:

    You will find no one with better customer service and super easy to follow patterns than from Ticiana of Crochetree.com. I have never made anything besides blankets and wearables before, but she assured me I could make a doll. She was so right. I have not finished my Melissa doll yet, but getting close. The patterns have amazing pictures, and super simple, step by step instructions, that anyone can follow. And when I needed help, Ticiana is exceptionally quick to respond and offer assistance and encouragement. I highly recommend you give her patterns a try. You will soon be hooked just like me!!! A+++++++++++++ recommend!

    Charlene, your message truly touched our hearts! :u1F979: We’re so happy you gave doll-making a try—and hearing that you're enjoying the journey means the world to us. We are so grateful for your kind words and encouragement :sparkling_heart: We can't wait to see your finished Melissa! :u1F9F6::sparkles:
