Lulu's Crochet Dolls takes readers on a creative journey through the seasons. Written by Sandra Muller under the pseudonym Lulu Compotine, the book features a collection of eight charming crochet dolls, each representing one of the four seasons and accompanied by their own unique story and even a little companion, including a dainty ladybird, a friendly squirrel, a loveable cat and a mischievous mouse. From the joyful strawberry-and-flower picking adventures of Caroline and Charlotte in Springtime to the festive fun had by Celia and Zoe in Winter, the dolls come to life with detailed, easy-to-follow crochet patterns and imaginative narratives. Lulu's Crochet Dolls will appeal to crocheters of all skill levels, with projects arranged in increasing order of difficulty. Detailed instructions, accompanied by colourful photographs, will guide you through the process, helping you create a cute and cuddly collection of beautifully finished dolls that will make wonderful playmates or collectibles. In addition to the patterns, Sandra shares her preferred crochet hooks and yarn choices, so that you can customise her patterns and make them your own - perhaps even recreate your own friends and family in adorable amigurumi! Sandra also emphasises the importance of proper assembly in order to create durable and visually appealing dolls. Dive into this enchanting crochet world, where Lulu's dolls and their delightful animal friends are waiting to become firm favourites with your family!

About the Author
Behind Lulu Compotine is Sandra Muller! Sandra established Lulu Compotine in 2018 after initially learning to knit clothes for her children. She then stumbled upon the wonderful realm of amigurumi - vibrant, crocheted cuddly toys! Consequently, her first charming crochet Owl came to life. Since then, not a day has passed without Sandra taking up her crochet hook! Gradually, character dolls have taken precedence over animals, as she relishes the process of crafting garments and accessories, reminiscent of her childhood spent playing with dolls. Sandra showcases her work on social media and provides patterns on Etsy, enabling enthusiasts to embark on their own journey of crocheting delightful cuddly toys and dolls.

Reviews

I absolutely love this book. It is laid out beautifully with clear photographs showing you the steps in just the right places. The excellent patterns take you through the seasons with 8 dolls to crochet as well as a host of accessories and little animals, all very cute. Wild swimming is popular in our area so I have made Agatha, a swimmer, with her little armbands. She is a bit larger as I used yarn from my stash. More makes from this book will definitely follow. I think the little turtle will be next, or maybe Agatha's bag. I can't recommend it enough.

From fruit picking to flying kites, these crocheted characters have busy lives with the cutest clothes, toys, pets and accessories to match.
