Can you hear my stifled squeals over these free crochet doll patterns? Raise your hands (read crochet hooks and tapestry needles) those of you who were obsessed with dolls back in the day. It won't be overstated to say dolls are childhood essentials and perfect heirlooms too, and more often than not, your child's favorite toy. Who am I kidding, dolls are our favorites too. Little kids can have all the fun from playing house to playing pretend friends, to mimicking everyone else's behavior towards them, with their toy doll.

Free Crochet Doll Patterns
Dolls are super fun to make as you have so much under your control; the expression of your doll, the height, the hair, the skin tone, her dressing aesthetic - ugh, so exciting. I have put together lots of interesting free patterns for you, that will give you all the inspiration you need, but you can always tweak with a little personal touch of yours.
#1 Tonton Doll
This lovely Tonton doll is such a perfect gift for an innocent little girl. Its pink booties and long, blonde hair styled in pigtails would make any little girl swoon over it.

#2 The Doll Witch Pattern
There is something about animated witches and broomsticks and wands, that excites you so much as a little kid.

#3 The Baseball Player Doll
I think boy dolls should come in lots of options too because little boys should get to enjoy playing gentle games and practice being vocal about their emotional behaviors too. That said, this one is a great pattern for a boy doll, and you’ll also get to learn to make its wearables including the hat. You can personalize it for your kid by changing the colors if you wish.
