With Halloween just around the corner, I’m excited to share this Little Frankenstein amigurumi doll pattern with you! While this pattern is best suited for expert crocheters, I know many of you enjoy a challenge and will love bringing this spooky character to life. Despite its intricate design, this small doll features a rectangular structure that makes it an interesting project.
Little Frankenstein Amigurumi Pattern
Made with a green color reminiscent of a zombie, this doll also has adorable pink cheeks that add a soft touch to its otherwise spooky appearance. The large eyes are another standout feature, with their bold white yarn edges that make them pop. This quirky little Frankenstein doll will make a great Halloween decoration or gift!
