Handmade Vampirina Crochet Doll

A small vampire with very good manners

The Vampirina crochet doll is the studio's Halloween doll that works all year. Purple hair, the dark dress, the pale face and the not-really-frightening expression: she is the friendly end of spooky, which is why she gets bought for children who like the idea of Halloween more than the scary parts of it.

The hair is the part that takes the longest. It is crocheted and shaped rather than attached as loose yarn, so it keeps its silhouette after being carried around, and the colour stays where it is meant to be.

When people buy her

October, mostly — but she sells through the winter as a bedroom doll, because the palette suits a room that is not painted in nursery colours. She is handmade to order in five sizes; the larger ones carry more detail in the face and the dress.
