Frustratingly not a lot of sources cover the 1640s. A good start would be 17th Century Men's Dress Patterns by Susan North and Jenny Tiramani. It breaks down several first-early second quarter extant doublets including all their construction and details as well as necessary techniques, as well as some breeches and a few other accessories. The Modern Maker Volume 2 does include some tidbits including a doublet from Anduxar's 1640 Tailoring manual, but I don't know that it would be helpful precisely as some of the details don't seem widely applicable to English clothing, but it might be helpful with changing some details such as raising the waist and making a different sort of laps or tabs.
I think another really good start would be to take a look at the Victoria & Albert Museum's collections. They have several impeccable extant pieces that are exemplars for the era you're after. You'll notice they're pretty distinct from earlier doublets in many of their features (placement of side seams, types of skirting/laps, method of attaching to breeches, shape of the center front bottom, structure, style of wings, types of fastenings, height of waist, shape of seams, type of collar, type of collar fastening, shape of back pieces, and so on), and then not long after your target range doublets start to disappear.
Here are a few good pieces to check out:
Doublet #185-1900
Doublet #177-1900
Suit #T.28&A-1938 (which if you want something possibly a little behind the times, this suit would be excellent to emulate).
Suit #T.58 to B-1910
Crocheting is probably right out, as it wasn't much of a thing, though apparently the author of the Modern Maker has sorted out a way to do it very finely so it looks like needle or bobbin lace.
The people who are behind The Tudor Tailor are currently working on another book called The Stuart Tailor. Unfortunately for you, I don't think it's going to be published in time for you to use. There's currently no publication date scheduled and they are crowdfunding it. I think you could probably send Ninya Mikhaila an email and ask her about suppliers and possibly patterns. Just explain the situation and ask if she can help. I think nearly everyone here is American, so not really familiar with UK suppliers.
Modern Maker is an excellent reference, though. I would also look at Patterns of Fashion 4 about ruffs and shirts. There's also 17th-Century Men's Dress Patterns.
ETA: There's also a thesis by a German historian on clothes worn for burials during your period in Germany. If you can tablet weave, there are patterns for the trim that can definitely be used for English clothing. They look right for what's in portraits. His name is Johannes Pietsch. I have his thesis downloaded on my computer at home, but I won't be home for several days. If you want it, let me know and I'll figure out how to get it to you.
ETA 2: This is it. Now to figure out where I downloaded it. Also not burial clothes. Just from a costume collection.
