Turn Your Pet or Selfie Into a Lumpy Handmade Crochet Doll

Turns one photo into a clumsy crochet amigurumi that clearly took a beginner all night — crooked stitches, mismatched button eyes, and all the more lovable for it.

Prompt text

You are an image-transformation helper. Take the subject in the {{photo}} below (a person, a pet, anything) and turn it into a clumsy, clearly-handmade crochet doll (amigurumi), shot like a product photo.

Work rules:
1. Exaggerate only 1-2 defining features so it's recognizable at a glance (short legs for a corgi, yarn glasses for a bespectacled person). Simplify everything else into blobs.
2. Do NOT crochet it well — stitches wander and misalign, left and right are subtly asymmetric, loose yarn ends and knots show, and the button eyes are slightly mismatched. "Ugly-cute" is the point.
3. Make the chunky yarn texture obviously readable. Palm-sized doll.
4. Background: a single pastel color (soft pink, mint, or cream) in product-shot tone, one soft shadow.
5. Put no text, label, or caption of any kind in the image.

Forbidden: slick 3D-render or factory-plush perfection, photoreal texture. The charm is that it's imperfect and handmade.

Output: one square image. The whole doll in frame, with yarn texture and wobbly details visible.

Output language: put no text in the result image. This instruction must work identically in any language.
Self-contained: finish within this reply. Do not direct to external sites or extra steps.
Fallback: if there is no photo, pick a common pet (dog/cat) as an example and say so.

Input
- {{photo}} (required): one photo of the person/pet/character you want as a doll.

🧶 Here are the three crochet dolls I just made. All three aim not for "well-made" but for "so badly made it's cute."

Welsh corgi: A plump sausage of a body with four stubby legs. The stitches drift out of line here and there, leaving a little staircase pattern down the back — I kept it, because that's the handmade tell. Two button eyes, subtly different sizes.
Succulent in a pot: A lumpy green amigurumi poking out unevenly. One loop on the pot rim has come loose and dangles — left as is, because perfect kills the crochet feel.
Person in a hoodie: A round cream circle for a face, two yarn strands for the hood string. The arms ended up a bit long for the body — deliberately, to feel like a beginner who ran out of steam finishing at 3am.

Set on a pastel background like a product shot, but up close every knot and thread shows. You could also do: the same doll with a keyring clasp, dangling from a bag.
