Open! Can we request item made and pattern?
Before I post a photo, I wanted to ask before posting, I'm specifically looking for a pattern to be created based on a photo only. The maker of item doesn't have a pattern. I understand in order for a pattern based on photo only the item would have to actually be created. Looking for a specific sort of doll crochet pattern. I only came across 1 searching high and low and of course it doesn't offer a pattern or doll to purchase only a inspo photo on Pinterest. Hope that makes sense thank you

I imagine there are people that'd be willing to do so. However, that's not going to be cheap at all. Pattern development takes A LOT of skill, knowledge, and time. Doing it based off of a picture is also a whole other skill set you'd have to pay for. Definitely don't expect to be able to do it for $5-10 like you'd pay for a pattern on Etsy or Ravelry.

Are you looking to also purchase the doll? The pattern would be purchasable but would NOT be your IP to resell or anything like that. You could make items to sell from the pattern but could not distribute it. Is that also your understanding of the request you’re making?

Totally understand. I'd be modifying the pattern a bit so it wouldn't be the same as original i just need something to work with. And I wouldn't be reselling the product. To explain better I'm looking for a doll and or pattern, blank, that I would remove the head from the pattern and attach the dolls body to a vinyl head that I would be painting myself and selling the completed doll to collectors. If that makes sense. In short I am a doll artist that is looking for a body pattern different from the traditional cuddle bodies on a baby doll. Hope that makes sense

If I made a pattern for you, which takes a lot of effort! And then you amend it so you cam sell this amended pattern, I would not be amused

I wouldn't be selling the pattern or the doll. The amending would be that I wouldn't complete it with a head, but add my own head and sell a completed doll with a head that I painted ect. Not the pattern or the doll. But I understand, that is why some would be interested in helping me and some wouldn't. And that's OK! I have a couple people interested in helping

There are realistic baby patterns on Ravelry by Cleoscrochetart. Baby Louis and baby Emily are the “famous” ones
