My Doll Collection: A Crochet Journey

Crocheting has become a beloved hobby for many, and I am no exception. In this article, I want to take you on a journey through my doll collection, which is the result of countless hours of dedication. From my first doll to my current projects, each creation has its own unique story.

1. Introduction

Crocheting has been a passion of mine since June 2020. It all started as a simple hobby, but soon it became an obsession. Today, I want to share with you the joy of creating dolls through crochet.

2. My Journey with Crocheting

My love for crocheting began in June 2020 when I picked up a crochet needle for the first time. From that moment on, I was hooked. I started experimenting with different patterns and techniques, and soon enough, I was ready to create my very first doll.

3. Miku Dolls: The Beginning

The Miku doll holds a special place in my heart, as it was my very first creation. It took me months to perfect the design and bring it to life. The attention to detail and the intricate work required made it a challenging but rewarding project.

4. Snow Miku and Regular Miku

Inspired by the iconic Snow Miku character, I decided to create my own version of this popular doll. With its unique winter-themed attire and delicate features, this doll quickly became one of my favorites. Alongside Snow Miku, I also made a regular Miku doll to showcase the classic look that made the character so famous.

5. Creating Sakuramiku

In the spirit of celebration, I decided to design a doll inspired by Sakura Miku. With its beautiful cherry blossom theme, this doll captures the essence of spring and adds a touch of elegance to my collection.

6. Designing Christmas Miku

Christmas is a special time of year, and I wanted to craft a doll that captured the holiday spirit. Inspired by the festive figurines I saw, I created my own original Christmas Miku. This doll features a unique design with elements that symbolize the joy and magic of the holiday season.

7. Making Teto for a Commission

Sometimes, my passion for crocheting extends beyond personal projects. A friend of mine requested a custom doll, and I couldn't resist the challenge. Teto, a character from a popular anime, became my next creation. With its quirky personality and distinctive appearance, Teto added a new dimension to my collection.

8. Charlotte Pudding from One Piece

One Piece is a beloved anime series, and Charlotte Pudding is one of its memorable characters. I decided to bring her to life through crochet, capturing her unique style and personality. This doll is a testament to my ability to recreate even the most complex designs.

9. Creating Coraline for Halloween

Halloween is a time for spooky fun, and I wanted to join in on the festivities. Coraline, from the eponymous movie, became the perfect choice for a Halloween-themed doll. I made two versions of Coraline, each with its own distinct features that capture the essence of the character.

a. Regular Coraline

The regular Coraline doll showcases her iconic hoodie, pin, freckles, and other details that give her a relatable and endearing look.

b. Doll Version of Coraline

The doll version of Coraline takes a darker and more macabre turn. With button eyes and a slightly "dead" appearance, this doll is a chilling tribute to the movie's unsettling aesthetic.

10. My Recent Dolls: Sailor Moon

Sailor Moon holds a special place in many hearts, and I decided to pay homage to this beloved series by crafting the main character. This doll is one of my recent creations, with plans to make the rest of the Sailor Scouts. Each doll will have a matching outfit that showcases their individuality.

11. The Trio from The Promised Neverland

The Promised Neverland is a popular manga series, and I couldn't resist the opportunity to bring its characters to life through crochet. Norman, Emma, and Rey, three pivotal characters from the series, became the stars of my next creations. Designing their hair and capturing their distinctive personalities was no small feat but immensely satisfying.

a. Norman

Norman's doll required meticulous attention to detail, especially in sculpting his distinctive hairstyle. This doll became a testament to my ability to recreate even the most complex hairstyles.

b. Emma

Emma, with her wild and voluminous hair, posed a unique challenge. It took careful planning and referring back to my notes from the first creation to recreate her signature hairstyle accurately.

c. Rey

Rey's doll, with his stylish hair and mysterious aura, required a delicate touch. The process of capturing his essence through crochet was both exciting and rewarding.

12. Crafting Naruto Doll

Naruto, an iconic character from the beloved anime series, was a must-have addition to my doll collection. Embarking on the journey of creating this doll was filled with excitement and a hint of nostalgia. The end result was a meticulously crafted doll that paid true homage to the character's iconic appearance.

13. Random Halloween Doll

Feeling inspired by the Halloween season, I decided to create a doll with a little pumpkin face on her dress. This doll was made purely for fun and embraces the playful spirit of Halloween. Adding cat ears to her ensemble added to the whimsical charm of this creation.

14. Fruits Basket Dolls: Kyo, Tohru, and Yuki

Fruits Basket is a heartwarming anime series, and I couldn't resist the opportunity to bring its beloved characters to life. Kyo, Tohru, and Yuki were the three most important characters that I chose to recreate. These dolls capture the essence of the characters and embody the warmth and love that the series represents.

15. Working on Black Clover Dolls

Black Clover, with its unique characters and captivating storyline, inspired me to create a series of dolls. Asta and Gordon were the first two dolls I made, and they quickly became fan favorites. My current project involves crafting Henry, another character from the series.

a. Asta

Asta's doll required precise attention to detail, with his iconic hairstyle and intricate design on his clothing. Capturing his energetic and determined personality was a challenge that I gladly embraced.

b. Gordon

Gordon, my personal favorite character from Black Clover, proved to be a delightful challenge. Bringing his distinct appearance to life through crochet was immensely satisfying and allowed me to push the boundaries of my creativity.

c. Henry (Current Project)

My current project involves crafting Henry from Black Clover. With his long and flowing hair, this doll presents an exciting new challenge. The intricacies of attaching his hair strands and perfecting his look require both patience and dedication.

Peccara and Karane, two popular characters from the online world, became prominent additions to my doll collection. These dolls required meticulous attention to detail due to their unique hairstyles and elaborate outfits. The intricacies involved in creating these dolls made them a formidable but rewarding project.

17. Another Base Body Experiment

Throughout my crochet journey, I've explored various base body designs to add diversity and flexibility to my dolls. Currently, I am experimenting with creating a taller and skinnier doll using a different base body pattern. While still a work in progress, this experiment showcases my willingness to continue exploring and pushing the boundaries of my craft.
