Today, I’m excited to share an Edward Scissorhands amigurumi pattern with you. This iconic character from the 1990s movie, starring Johnny Depp, has become a popular figure for Halloween and winter season crafts. Whether you’re spending a cozy winter evening or getting into the spooky spirit, this Edward Scissorhands crochet doll is the perfect project for any fan of the film.
Edward Scissorhands Amigurumi Pattern
The crochet doll is made predominantly with black yarn, reflecting the character’s signature look. The head and scissor hands are crafted with skin-toned yarn to capture the details of the character accurately. This pattern is an excellent way to bring a beloved movie character to life in crochet form.
