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.Lulu's Crochet Doll Family follows hot on the heels of the popular Lulu's Crochet Dolls, which has sold over 22,500 copies since 2024.Instagram: @luciennecompotine (where she has over 126k followers)Blog: www.lucompotine.com

Eight makes a family—at least for French doll Lulu. Compotine follows her first Lulu book, Lulu’s Crochet Dolls (2024), with this guide for making three generations of Lulu's family, from grandparents Jean and Lucie to four-year-old sister Susan, with a birthday party as the centerpiece. Despite the small font size, Compotine's directions couldn’t be clearer, with step-by-step, captioned photographs adding even more depth to the instructions. While some yarns used, from DMC and Hobbii, might be difficult to source in the U.S., Compotine encourages crocheters to make “a family just like yours,” showcasing specific yarn colorways, light and dark, to help crafters do just that. Those with intermediate crocheting skills will be sated by all the projects here to accessorize the family, from a tiny skateboard and basket of boules to bunting and a teddy-bear handbag. There are lots of amigurumi books out there, but not so many in Lulu's French style.
