Five free and super-easy Halloween amigurumi patterns
Halloween is coming, and amigurumi artists are busy making dolls and patterns to celebrate All Saints’ Day! Here is the collection of the newest Halloween-related patterns published in September 2016. Many thanks to the designers for their awesome free patterns!
Halloween spider by Sophie Monks
Stuff and Spill Halloween Cauldron by Megan Meyer
“I Aint Fraid-a No Ghost” by Tera Kulling
Amigurumi Halloween Black Cat by The Enchanted Ladybug
Halloween Pumpkin by Sophie Monks
August 2021 UPDATE: Unfortunately, the website of Tera Kulling doesn't respond anymore, and her amigurumi pattern (#3 in the list) is unavailable either. So I've substituted the direct link to the pattern with a link to WebArchive, where a copy of Tera's webpage is stored. Loading the page from the archive may take a while - please be patient :)
Happy crocheting!
One arm and one leg… Next body part to make? Of course, the hair!
Ball jointed amigurumi
Started working on a ball jointed amigurumi :) I nurtured this idea for many months, because I love normal BJDs, and I thought it would be an interesting idea to combine the simplicity of amigurumi with realistic articulation of BJDs. So far I made a body, a head that can rotate, one arm and one leg able to rotate on 2 axis -- just to see how everything works. This is the very first testing prototype, so I didn’t really care about the esthetics :) There is a lot of things to correct, add, and improve, but overall I’m happy with the result.
A really challenging #crochet project now: I'm making an applique in the shape of... the Upper Peninsula of Michigan 🌅 After this applique I will try to make an amigurumi of this part of Michigan... Since a pattern for the stuffed crochet peninsula was exactly what I was asked to make 😁😃
After I made my Batman amigurumi, I thought of making some other superhero. I’ve chosen Superman, because crocheters often asked me whether I have a pattern for him, and then that movie was released where Batman and Superman became kind of brothers, so... To make this doll of Superman, I’ve reworked my pattern for Batman. During the calculations I found out that Superman is a little more slender and taller than Batman, lol. The Superman doll is crocheted with cotton yarns, and crocheting with cottons was quite a new experience to me, since I usually work with thicker acrylic yarns. He is 13” (34 cm.) tall, stuffed with hollowfiber filling. I’ve already written and uploaded the pattern to my Etsy and Craftsy stores. If you already have Batman made from my pattern, now you can make him a friend :) They look so good standing together on a shelf :)

Crocheting All stitches are worked up in both loops unless otherwise stated. All pieces are worked up in continuous rounds, like a spiral, except chestplate which is worked up in rows. Blade of shovel is worked up in both rounds and rows.
Abbreviations R = round sc = single crochet dc = double crochet inc = increasing (2 single crochet in 1 stitch) dec = decreasing (single crochet two together) BLO/FLO = back/front loops only sk = skip a stitch(es) st(s) = stitch(es) ch(s) = chain(s)
Head + body Use light blue yarn and G-6 (4 mm) hook : R1: 4 sc into magic ring or ch2, 4 sc in 2nd ch from hook = 4 sts R2: 4 inc = 8 sts R3: 8 inc = 16 sts R4-8: 1 sc in each stitch around = 16 sts in BLO: R9: 8 dec = 8 sts Change yarn to dark blue, in FLO: R10: 8 inc = 16 sts R11-13: 1 sc in each stitch around = 16 sts R14: (2 sc, 1 dec) x 4 times = 12 sts Begin to stuff and continue as you go along. Change yarn to yellow: R15-16: 1 sc in each stitch around = 12 sts Change yarn to dark blue. Starting on the first leg: R17: 3 sc, sk 6 sts, 3 sc = 6 sts R18-19: 1 sc in each stitch around = 6 sts Change yarn to light blue: R20-21: 1 sc in each stitch around = 6 sts Close the hole, fasten off and weave in loose ends. You will have now 6 sts available to work in for the second leg. Join in new dark blue yarn in st closest to the first leg: R1: ch1, sc in the next 5 sts = 6 sts R2: 1 sc in the first st from R1 and in each st around = 6 sts R3: 1 sc in each stitch around = 6 sts Change yarn to light blue: R4-5: 1 sc in each stitch around = 6 sts Close the hole, fasten off and weave in loose ends. Sew up the gap.
Arm (make 2) Use dark blue yarn and E-4 (3.5 mm) hook: R1: 5 sc into magic ring or ch2, 5 sc in 2nd ch from hook = 5 sts R2-3: 1 sc in each stitch around = 5 sts Change yarn to light blue: R4: 1 sc in each stitch around = 5 sts Change yarn to dark blue: R5-7: 1 sc in each stitch around = 5 sts Fasten off and leave a long tail of yarn for sewing.
Shoulderplate (make 2) Use light blue yarn and G-6 (4 mm) hook : R1: 4 sc into magic ring or ch2, 4 sc in 2nd ch from hook = 4 sts R2: 4 inc = 8 sts Change yarn to yellow: R3: 1 sc in each stitch around = 8 sts Fasten off and leave a long tail of yarn for sewing.
Horn (make 2) Use yellow yarn and G-6 (4 mm) hook : R1: ch8, join into a ring with sl st = 8 sts R2: 1 sc in each stitch around = 8 sts Change yarn to beige: R3-4: 1 sc in each stitch around = 8 sts R5: (2 sc, 1 dec) x 2 times = 6 sts R6: 1 sc in each stitch around = 6 sts R7: (1 sc, 1 dec) x 2 times = 4 sts Fasten off and weave in loose ends. Stuff slightly.
Chestplate Use light blue yarn and G-6 (4 mm) hook : Row1: ch5, 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 3 sc = 4 sts Row2: ch1, turn, 1 sc in each st across = 4 sts Row3: ch1, turn, 2 dec = 2 sts Row4: ch1, turn, 1 dec = 1 sts Fasten off and leave a tail of yarn for sewing.
Blade of shovel Use light blue yarn and G-6 (4 mm) hook : R1: 6 sc into magic ring or ch2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook = 6 sts R2: 6 inc = 12 sts R3: ch2, 1 dc in next st, 3 dc = 12 sts (1 ch2 + 4 dc + 7 sc) Fasten off, cut yarn.
Assembly and finishing
Arms and shoulderplates Sew the arms to the body at R10-11. Sew the shoulderplates to the arms. Hide loose ends of thread inside of the body.
Horns Sew the horns to the head at R3-5 and hide loose ends of thread inside of the head.
Chestplate Sew the chestplate to the body at R10-14. Hide loose ends of thread inside of the body.
Shovel To make the handle, cut a piece of wire about 3’’ (7.5 cm) long. Bend its tip to make a little loop.Wrap the wire with brown yarn. You can additionally sc around the wire and make 3 dc into its loop for more realistic shape. Glue or sew the blade to the handle. Use glue to secure loose thread ends. Then sew or glue the shovel to the doll’s right hand, or to other place where you want it to be.
“Face” and beltplates Cut a little T-shaped piece out of black felt and glue it onto the head. Cut 4 drop-shaped pieces out of light blue felt and glue them onto the body at R15-16. (Two “drops” for the left and right sides of the body, and two pieces for the front and back sides of the body).
Congrats! Shovel Knight is finished!
Bought the pattern on etsy from tinyAlchemy. Was quite fun to do :p Now to complete one of my many other half done projects!
How cool is he O_O
Thank you for sharing!
“...Once again, only you survived, mr. Death”.
Meet the amigurumi of Agent Hunk from Resident Evil. He is a little creepy even as an ami doll O_o
Crochet Batman is completed (and the pattern too)
My amigurumi Batman and the pattern are completed! He was a really nice challenge to me, hehe. I tried to make this doll in my favorite “realistic” style, but I never have crocheted a realistic-looking human head, so I had to spend plenty of time to figure out how to make the chin, and how to connect it to the neck. I think I have developed some new crochet technique, lol.
All other parts were a lot easier to make, but Batman’s cape made me crazy. It doesn’t seem to be so difficult, right? Just a simple rectangle…But I tried 4 or 5 different ways of crocheting, and I disliked all of them. Some of these variations had too bulky folds, and the others didn't look naturally. Only the 6th version of the cape fitted the doll perfectly.
Because of all these tricky elements I set the intermediate level of difficulty for this Batman pattern. I feel like it came out just a bit more difficult than my pattern for Toothless, but totally doable for a crocheter with some experience. To explain the potentially confusing parts, I made a ton of photo and added some crochet charts. Hehe, at least I’m sure now the pattern is easy to understand. It can be found in my shops on Etsy and Craftsy. Enjoy! :D
Inspired by my endless efforts to crochet a right looking Batman's cape...I have already made 4 or 5 versions, and I'm still not satisfied with it.
Batman!
My current crochet project: BATMAN! I decided to make him because of my friend who gave me a suggestion, and also I wanted to use up all yarn which was left after amigurumi of Toothless. Thirdly, when I googled crochet patterns for Batman I wasn't able to find a realistic-looking doll: all the amigurumi I had found were very cute chibi versions of Batman. So I said to myself, it could be a pretty nice challenge for me to make Batman with realistic proportions and details.
First I looked through a lot of pictures in Google to find the best which I can use as a reference. I have picked these two:
I tried to combine the cartoonish style of the first picture with the realistic look of the second image to obtain average, mean Batman :D
I started from making a head. My goal was to keep this classic shape with a "lantern jaw" :)
The head took me pretty much time and crochet experimenting until I eventually came to a satisfying result Then I designed the body, it was quite easy though I had to remake it one time because the chest turned out way too wide.
Then I made arms and legs. The legs were a surprisingly hard challenge. At first I couldn't catch the right shape of a boot. Then, after one leg was completed, I noticed that it came out too fat at the hip. I had to remake the legs and rewrite the pattern.
Now with the thinner hips he looks better, and I have proceeded to the cape.
The felt badge is temporary. I want to make a crocheted yellow oval, and make it bigger than this (or maybe not :P)
I think I will completely finish the amigurumi next week. Then in another week I will start working on the crochet pattern. It will be available in my Etsy shop:)
Hi guys, I started Instagram a few months ago, so here is the link in case if you'd like to follow me ^__^
While I'm slowly working on my next amigurumi doll, I decided to post some of my "oldies". Here is a classic rainbow-maned ami unicorn :D
He is based on a very popular pattern by Ana Paula Rimoli (probably you have your own!). This unicorn is the 3rd amigurumi I ever made. I love its simple shapes and cute colors.
