Introduction: Amigurumi – Minimee Crochet Zombie “Ouk”

To crochet an Amigurumi Zombie, a bit of preparation is required. Therefore, you will find the necessary information about prerequisites, materials, and size here. Additional links for help can be found in the corresponding sections.

Attention! Amigurumis are very cute and, therefore, not only popular among adults. Children often see them as toys, so you should be especially careful. Amigurumis that are not intended for play should be kept out of the reach of children. If an Amigurumi is meant to be played with by children, you should strictly adhere to the guidelines for toys. If you plan to give away or sell Amigurumis (license for sellers), you must strictly adhere to the legal requirements for toys and display the required CE marking.

Prerequisites

You should already be familiar with the following techniques to easily follow this crochet pattern for the Amigurumi Zombie. If you haven’t mastered all of them yet, comprehensive tutorials are available here to help you learn.

  • Color Change
  • Crochet Chain Stitches
  • Crochet Magic Ring
  • Crochet Slip Stitches
  • Crochet Treble Crochet Stitches (US!)
  • Decreases
  • Half Double Crochet Stitches (US!)
  • Increases
  • Loops of a Stitch
  • Single Crochet Stitches (US!)
  • spiral rounds
  • Turning Chain Stitches

Note! By offsetting regular increases and decreases, they become almost invisible. You can recognize regular increases by the phrase “double every … stitch,” and regular decreases by the phrase “crochet together every … and … stitch”. The stitch chart for spheres and circles might also be helpful for you.

Note! Using a special technique for invisible decreases makes them nearly invisible. Although this technique requires a bit of practice, it’s worth giving it a try.

Supplies

The listed materials were used to crochet the Amigurumi Zombie. If you want to crochet the Amigurumi Zombie with a different yarn, be sure to use an appropriately sized crochet hook. For an authentic result, use these materials as accurately as possible. Here, you will also find a list of necessary tools and supplies.

Crochet Hook

You will need a crochet hook with a size of B or C (alphabetic) or 1 1/2 (numeric). For converting to other sizes, the crochet hook size converter will help you. I have selected some great crochet hooks for you here.

Darning Yarn

I have used darning yarn in the shade of black here. If you cannot find a suitable darning yarn in your supplies, I have already selected some for you.

Filling

For filling, I used wadding made of 100% viscose. However, there are numerous alternatives for filling material. If you’ve run out of filling, I’ve prepared a refill for you here.

Acrylic Paint

I used acrylic paint in the shade of red here. This paint is non-toxic, water-dilutable, waterproof, and adheres to almost any surface. I found a great set of acrylic paints for you to try out here.

Pins

You’ll also need a few pins. The more colorful your collection, the better. If you need more, I’ve found something for you.

Safety Eyes

I used 2 safety eyes with a diameter of 1/4 inches. The eyes are completely black. However, there are countless alternatives for amigurumi eyes. You might prefer other safety eyes as well.

Scissors

You’ll need any scissors. It’s best to use your most beautiful scissors because it brings you joy. If you don’t have really nice scissors, I’ve picked out some lovely ones for you.

Wool Needle

You’ll need a wool needle with a blunt tip. The thickness of the wool needle should match the thickness of your yarn. You might like the set of wool needles I’ve picked out for you.

Yarn – Schachenmayr – Catania – 245 – anis (neongrün)

I used yarn in the shade Anise. The material is 100% cotton. The yardage is 137 yds / 1.75 oz. If you want to replenish your supply, I’ve already picked out the matching yarn for you here.

Yarn – Schachenmayr – Catania – black – 110

I used yarn in the shade Black. The material is 100% cotton. The yardage is 137 yds / 1.75 oz. If you want to replenish your supply, I’ve already picked out the matching yarn for you here.

Note! I have used safety eyes here. If you have never attached safety eyes before, you can also find detailed instructions on how to attach safety eyes here. In addition to a wide selection of other safety eyes, there are also numerous alternatives for amigurumi eyes. Simply use the eyes that you like best.

Note! The specified yarn was used for the example shown here. In principle, you can use any yarn and an appropriate needle size. However, the quality of the material also affects the quality of the result, so you should avoid cutting corners in the wrong place. Also, the thickness of the yarn and the needle will influence the size of the outcome, which you can, of course, intentionally take advantage of.

Size

Here are the size specifications for the crocheted Amigurumi Zombie. The height was measured standing without hair. Please note that the actual size depends on the yarn used, the size of the crochet hook, and individual crochet tension.

Needle SizeYardageSize
Crochet Hook B, C or 1 1/2137 yds / 1.75 oz2 2/5 inch
Crochet Hook C, D or 2 1/2120 yds / 1.75 oz3 inches
Crochet Hook E or 493 yds / 1.75 oz?

Note! If you want to change the size, you can simply use a thicker or thinner yarn with a suitable needle size. Simply doubling the rounds, rows, and stitches, on the other hand, will only result in an uneven outcome.

Crochet Pattern: Amigurumi – Minimee Crochet Zombie “Ouk”

Amigurumi - Minimee Crochet Zombie - Ouk - free pattern - crochet pattern

For the little zombie, we first crochet the head and body in one go from top to bottom in spiral rounds, incorporating some hair along the way. Then, we crochet the arms and legs, and finally, you can assemble all the parts. The finishing touches include adding details like blood and scars.

Prepare Hair for Zombie (1x)

pattern - free crochet pattern - Amigurumi - Minimee Crochet Zombie - Ouk

If your zombie is going to have a nice hairstyle, we need to prepare some hair first. To do this, cut a strand of black yarn, about 8 cm long, consisting of about 3 threads. Now tie a knot in the middle of the strand and set aside the hair for later.

Crochet Head for Zombie (1x)

Amigurumi - Minimee Crochet Zombie - Ouk - free crochet pattern - pattern

For the zombie, we first crochet the head and body in one go from top to bottom in spiral rounds. Since the body is crocheted directly onto the head, do not cut the yarn when the head is finished.

Note! If you want to achieve a particularly beautiful result, you can hide regular increases and decreases by offsetting them a little. You can recognize regular increases by the phrase “double every … stitch,” and regular decreases by the phrase “crochet together every … and … stitch”. The stitch chart for spheres and circles might also be helpful for you. Additionally, you can apply a special crochet technique here for invisible decreases.

  • green:
  • 1st round:
    • magic ring
    • into the magic ring:
      • 6 single crochet stitches (US!)
    • = 6 stitches
  • 2nd round:
    • double every stitch
    • = 12 stitches
  • 3rd round:
    • double every 2nd stitch
    • = 18 stitches
  • 4th round:
    • double every 3rd stitch
    • = 24 stitches
  • 5th round:
    • double every 4th stitch
    • = 30 stitches
  • 6th – 12th round:
    • (= 7 rounds)
    • every stitch one stitch
    • = 30 stitches
  • 13th round:
    • into the back loop only:
      • crochet together every 4th and 5th stitch
    • = 24 stitches

Now you can grab the prepared hair. Insert a crochet hook from the outside to the inside through the center of the starting yarn ring and pull all ends of the strands out on both sides. If you’ve done everything correctly, only the knot remains inside the head. The hair is probably still too long, preventing it from slipping back inside for now. Just keep crocheting when you’re ready!

Note! If you want to achieve a particularly beautiful result, you can hide regular decreases by offsetting them a little. You can recognize regular decreases by the phrase “crochet together every … and … stitch”. The stitch chart for spheres and circles might also be helpful for you. Additionally, you can apply a special crochet technique here for invisible decreases.

  • attach safety eyes, position:
    • after the 9th round
    • 5 stitches distance
  • 14th round:
    • crochet together every 3rd and 4th stitch
    • = 18 stitches
  • 15th round:
    • crochet together every 2nd and 3rd stitch
    • = 12 stitches
  • fill and stuff completely
  • do NOT cut yarn, continue with:
    • body

Crochet Body for Zombie (1x)

As described earlier, we now crochet the body directly onto the head. If you accidentally cut the yarn, you can simply continue as if starting with a new color.

Note! If you want to achieve a particularly beautiful result, you can hide regular increases and decreases by offsetting them a little. You can recognize regular increases by the phrase “double every … stitch,” and regular decreases by the phrase “crochet together every … and … stitch”. The stitch chart for spheres and circles might also be helpful for you. Additionally, you can apply a special crochet technique here for invisible decreases.

  • 16th round:

    • (= 2 rounds)

    • = 12 stitches
  • 26th round:
    • crochet together every 1st and 2nd stitch
    • = 6 stitches
  • cut yarn generously, pull through loop, close the remaining opening, secure and weave in the yarn end

Crochet Arms for Zombie (2x)

crochet pattern - free pattern - Amigurumi - Minimee Crochet Zombie - Ouk

After the head and body are finished, we crochet two arms for the zombie. The arms are crocheted in just 2 rows back and forth.

Note! If you want to create several nearly identical parts, it’s advisable to work on them consecutively on the same day. For larger parts, it’s even recommended to work on them simultaneously in stages. Our tension and tightness can vary from day to day, leading to visible differences.

  • green:
  • 1st row:
    • 4 chain stitches
    • 2 turning chain stitches
    • = 4 stitches
  • 2nd row:
    • into one stitch:
      • 1 half double crochet stitch (US!)
      • 2 turning chain stitches
      • 1 slip stitch
    • 3x one slip stitch into one stitch
    • = 5 stitches
  • cut yarn generously, pull through loop, do NOT cut the yarn end, it will be used later for sewing

Crochet Legs for Zombie (2x)

Next, we have two legs so your zombie can wander around diligently. They are crocheted almost the same as the arms. Be cautious, though, as the emphasis is on “almost.”

Note! If you want to create several nearly identical parts, it’s advisable to work on them consecutively on the same day. For larger parts, it’s even recommended to work on them simultaneously in stages. Our tension and tightness can vary from day to day, leading to visible differences.

  • green:

    • 2 turning chain stitches
    • = 4 stitches
  • 2nd row:
    • into one stitch:
      • 2 half double crochet stitches (US!)
      • 2 turning chain stitches
      • 1 slip stitch
    • 3x one slip stitch into one stitch
    • = 6 stitches
  • cut yarn generously, pull through loop, do NOT cut the yarn end, it will be used later for sewing

Finish Minimee Zombie

Now you’ve crocheted all the parts. That was faster than expected. Next, pin your zombie together with pins. This way, you can see if everything is in the right place and make any changes easily.

Attach Arms and Legs

Amigurumi - Minimee Crochet Zombie - Ouk - crochet pattern - free pattern

Now, attach the arms and legs to the body of the zombie. The arms are positioned with a distance of 4 stitches after the 16th round, and the legs are attached below the small stitch edge with only 3 stitches of space after the 23rd round. It will help if you first find the center using the eyes. Then, attach the arms and legs on each side. It is more important to maintain the same distance from the center than to hit the exact stitch count. Additionally, the pattern for attaching small Amigurumi parts will be a great help if you haven’t done that before.

Style Hair

Now it’s time to give the zombie a little tug on the hair to make sure it sits well. Afterward, you can trim it to the desired length. Don’t be too hasty, though, as zombie hair doesn’t grow back very well.

Create Details

Finally, you can enhance your zombie a bit. I first drew some red cheeks and then added some bloody spots. After the blood dried, I added three scars, one above the left eye, one on the back of the head on the right side, and one on the left side of the back. Lastly, I embroidered a belly button as a cross.

Done!
