Free Frankenstein Amigurumi Pattern With 2 Neck Bolts and a Stitched Scar

Spooky season has never looked this cute. This tiny crocheted Frankenstein monster has a bright green face, a stitched forehead and the sweetest rosy cheeks, and he is small enough to sit on a shelf, hang on a bag or guard your desk.


Read the short overview below to see if this project is right for you. The PDF pattern is waiting at the very bottom of the page, after a short countdown.

Meet the little monster

This mini amigurumi has a big round green head, a flat patch of black hair, two shiny black eyes and a zigzag scar stitched across the forehead. Tiny bolts sit on each side of his head, and his small ears and blushing cheeks keep the whole look friendly instead of scary. Make a couple and let them keep each other company, just like in the photo.

About the outfit

The monster wears a little black jacket over a crisp white shirt front, with short black legs and green hands that peek out of the sleeves. Every piece is worked in simple rounds with basic increases and decreases, so the outfit comes together fast. The white shirt is a small separate piece that gets sewn on, and the scar and bolts are added at the end for that classic finishing touch.

What you will need

  • Soft cotton or acrylic yarn in bright green, black and white
  • A small crochet hook (the PDF lists the exact size)
  • Polyester fiberfill for stuffing
  • Black safety eyes
  • Gray or silver beads, small bolts or gray yarn for the neck bolts
  • A tapestry needle, stitch markers and scissors
  • A little orange or pink blush for the cheeks (optional)

The pattern at a glance

  1. Crochet the green head in the round, add the ears, then stuff it firmly.
  2. Make the black hair piece and sew it on.
  3. Work the jacket and the white shirt front.
  4. Make the arms, legs and feet.
  5. Assemble everything, then stitch the scar and add the bolts and cheeks.
Skill level: beginner-friendly to intermediate. If you know the magic ring, increases, decreases and basic sewing, you can make this little guy in a relaxed afternoon.

Tips for a neat result

  • Keep your tension tight so the stuffing does not show through the stitches.
  • Use stitch markers on every round. On a small piece, one missed stitch is easy to spot.
  • Pin the hair and the ears in place before you sew, and check that both sides match.
  • Stitch the scar with a contrasting thread and go slowly, since it gives him most of his personality.
